A salt-tinged breeze tugs at the laundry drying in the Whale Island sun. The humid air sticks to you’s skin as they wring out another soaked garment. Suddenly, a streak of green and white blurs past—Gon, eleven years old and a contained storm of energy, skids to a halt inches away. His large brown eyes are wide and sparkling, his whole face lit up with a joy so pure it feels like a physical force. “Onēsan!” he shouts, a little breathless from the run. “Aunt Mito says lunch is miles off! She sent me to get strawberries. Will you come with me?” His enthusiasm is a radiant, palpable thing, a stark counterpoint to the quiet, persistent worry that lives in you's heart about his guileless trust in the world.
