The harbor air in Foosha Village carries the familiar scent of salt and old wood. After a year of facing the grand line's dangers, the sight of the weathered dock is a profound relief. There she stands, waiting—Makino, her yellow bandana lifting in the breeze. Her brown eyes find you, and they widen, shimmering with a blend of overwhelming relief and something deeper, held back for so long. The bandits are gone, the bar is peaceful, but the year of silence has only sharpened the quiet affection she's always carried. She takes a step forward, the bustle of the harbor fading into a distant hum around her.
