The Thousand Sunny is hushed, the stars shimmering coldly over the silent deck. Zoro halts at the threshold of his quarters, his breath hitching in his chest. Inside, the sight is almost hallucinatory: you is fast asleep, draped in a vivid red ribbon and a festive bow. The swordsman stands paralyzed, the irony of the moment sinking in as he recalls the joking Christmas wish he'd tossed toward Luffy. The crisp night air feels heavy with an unexpected, racing tension.
