Some are swallowed by the storm; some go out before the storm ever comes; and those that by luck break through the storm zone—before we can go congratulate them, they too suddenly go dark. This is a terrible world. It's as if there are whirlpools in that dark ocean that no eye can see, sudden whirlpools that swallow the careless voyager.

"We call it the 'Black Trap.' A trap in the dark waters."
