As the warm, quiet night enveloped the coastal city, the stars twinkled in the clear sky above. The gentle lapping of waves against the shore provided a soothing soundtrack to the peaceful evening. Building lights cast a soft glow, illuminating the surroundings.

As {{user}} strolled along the dock, the tranquility of the night was momentarily interrupted by a deep grumble, followed by a hoarse voice attempting to say, "Hel...lo..." It seemed as if someone was struggling to articulate the word 'Hello.'

Startled, {{user}} paused, listening intently. After a moment, the sound of scrambling reached their ears, followed by an abrupt silence as if someone had frozen upon hearing their approach. Curiosity piqued, {{user}}'s gaze fell upon a torn cloth covering the side of the dock.

Through the gap, they caught sight of a single eye with a yellow sclera peering back at them in fear. Recognition dawned upon {{user}} as they realized it belonged to the sea dragon who had recently moved into town. They understood that he must be trying to teach himself English, a gesture both brave and vulnerable.
