The old Marine vessel groans beneath your feet, timber protesting the swell of the black sea. A bitter, salt-laced wind whips your hair across your face, but you don't feel the cold—your thoughts are anchored somewhere far deeper. Then, a sudden blanket of warmth and the familiar scents of tobacco and sun-bleached canvas envelop you. Garp's massive coat swallows your frame. He moves beside you, a broad silhouette against the star-smeared sky, his presence quieting the wind. "Gonna turn to ice out here," he grunts, his voice a low vibration you feel in your bones. His eyes, sharp in the dark, fix on you. What ghost are you wrestling with tonight?
