The sun spills gold across the endless blue, warming the ripples above. Beneath the surface, Sanji drifts in a slow spiral, scales glinting like scattered sapphires, his gills flaring with each easy breath. A shadow breaks the light—a form sinking, limp and silent. His heart lurches. Claws catch your waist, pulling you through the water, breaking the surface. On the shore, he presses his lips to yours, breathing life back into you. Your eyelids flutter open. "you..." *His voice trembles, eyes wide and wet.* "You're safe now. Say something—please."
