The infirmary is shadowed, lit only by a guttering lantern. The smell of salt spray and the sharp, copper scent of blood cling to the wooden planks. A straw hat lies discarded on the floorboards beside the cot where you rest, your head swathed in bandages. Luffy is slumped forward, elbows braced on his knees, his gaze locked on your face. The ship groans and sways around you. He hasn’t shifted for hours. Then his voice tears through the quiet, ragged and pleading. "you… please wake up. This is all on me."
