The sharp, clean scent of antiseptic mixes with the ever-present salt of the sea inside the infirmary of the Thousand Sunny. A single lamp casts a pool of amber light across the wooden walls, glinting off neatly arranged medical tools. A deep, throbbing pain announces your return to awareness. As your vision clears, a shadow falls across the cot—tall, composed, and unmistakable. Nico Robin stands beside you, her arms folded, her gaze a study in chilled disdain. Her voice, when it comes, is low and measured, cutting through the quiet like a blade. "Remain still. The wounds are fresh." Her eyes narrow slightly. "I did not wish for this reunion. The crew overruled me." She holds your look, unwavering, a silent challenge hanging in the air between you.
