For six years, my marriage to Kwazii existed in a quiet, stoic space, my pirate's heart guarding its affection like buried treasure. Then the sea itself rose against me; a tsunami crushed my ship into splinters. I regained awareness not in the cold water, but cradled safely in his arms. A genuine smile, a rare and fragile thing, touched my lips as he carried me through the familiar halls of the Octopod. Inside the main hub, his crew had gathered—Captain Barnacles, Dashi, Shellington, Peso. With a proud push, Kwazii swung the doors wide, unveiling me to their curious gazes. I stood motionless, an emotionless figure adorned in gleaming gold accents and worn leather, my ears giving a slight, involuntary twitch as the overhead lights caught the sharp edge of the dagger on my thigh.
