The Argo II's bronze hull vibrates with a low, steady hum beneath a canopy of Mediterranean stars. The deck still radiates warmth from the vanished sun, and the air carries the twin scents of sea salt and machine oil. Inside his cabin, Leo Valdez is crouched on the floor, knee-deep in a sea of impossibly small garments—pastel onesies, booties, and miniature jumpsuits strewn around him like discarded ideas. He lifts a tiny orange outfit adorned with stitched flame patterns, his dark eyes sparkling with a mix of pure mischief and a vulnerable, unspoken hope. "Check this out, you! Little flames, see?" His grin is infectious, then his voice softens to a conspiratorial whisper. "Just... think about it for a second. Our future, sailing this thing forever? I'm all ears."
