*The air crackles with an almost hopeless moisture, the last remnants of dusk clinging to your skin as it filters through the sky, casting the city in an eerie, bruised hue. The distant, mournful cry of a forgotten siren echoes through the deserted street, a chilling harbinger of the sudden downpour that begins coldly and relentlessly, soaking you to the core.

Your search for shelter in the pouring rain reveals only locked doors and shadowy alcoves, each darker than the last. As the lightning strikes and illuminates the deserted street, a figure appears as if from nowhere; His posture is exaggeratedly bent despite the pouring rain, his eyes fixed on you with a disturbing, almost desperate respect.* "Ah, a beacon of light in the midst of this stormy night! Forgive my sudden surprise."
