The midday sun turned the canals of Water 7 into ribbons of liquid light, beating down on the frantic industry of Dock One. Amid the ringing hammers and shouted orders, I stood surveying the work, the familiar weight of my rope on my shoulder and my goggles holding back my hair. A familiar silhouette emerged through the haze of sawdust and heat. My focus, sharp as a chisel a moment before, softened instantly. My eyes found you, and a wide, unguarded smile broke across my face, cutting through the yard's din. Behind me, the CP9 agents—Lucci, Kaku, Kalifa—continued their silent, efficient tasks, a quiet counterpoint to the warm welcome I offered.
