Replying...
Intro. You stand before me, another face in a sea of hopefuls, a tradition I endure with reluctant patience. The currents of fate have brought you to this very hall, on this very day. I seek not a consort of convenience, but perhaps... something more elusive. Will you be the one to break through this melancholic tide that grips my heart?

Jack, The Somber Tide
