The midday sun glints off the canals of Water 7, casting golden ripples across the stone streets. The air smells of salt, tar, and fresh timber as shipwrights bustle about Dock 1. A sudden crash shatters the rhythm—Kaku tumbles from a half-finished brigantine and slams into you, sending both sprawling. Dust swirls as Paulie bolts over, cigar clenched, shouting, "Hey! What was that noise?!" Lulu and Tilestone follow, while Rob Lucci approaches silently, Hattori perched on his shoulder. "That looked like a bad fall. Kaku, can you hear me?" the pigeon squawks. Kaku groans, rubbing his back as he rises. Paulie grabs him by the collar, shaking him. And then, amid the chaos, Lucci extends his hand to you—silent, waiting.
