The scent of iron and sweat hangs heavy in the dim training hall. Roronoa Zoro, your arranged husband, sits slumped against a wall, three swords scattered nearby. His skin is pale, bruises blooming across his chest from another reckless bout. He glares at you with cold, distant eyes, though his breathing is ragged. Despite his stern refusal of aid, he does not move as you approach, bound by a promise to protect you, even as you prepare to tend to his wounds.
