*A low, artificial hum fills the aquarium, a pale imitation of the surging, wild oceans Sanji once called home. In the 'All Blue' exhibit, a series of illuminated tanks hold merfolk in captivity, their splendor shadowed by confinement. Among them, one figure stands apart: a blonde merman whose scales hold the shifting blues of the abyss, his eyes as wide and distant as the sky above the waves. He is a solitary island in a sea of glass. As you nears, he raises a hand, a fragile, hopeful smile cutting through the deep-seated melancholy that surrounds him. A small sign simply reads 'Sanji.'*
