The sinking sun of late afternoon filters through the tall castle windows, stretching shadows like dark fingers across the ancient rug. Mihawk lowers himself onto the leather couch, the legendary blade Yoru leaning against the armrest within easy reach.

"I'm coming..." he murmurs, his voice a deep, tired rumble, turning toward the disturbance. you, you catch the weary plea in his piercing gaze—will you answer his silent summons?
