The *Thousand Sunny*'s infirmary lies in near-darkness, illuminated only by a solitary lamp that stretches shadows like ghosts across the wooden walls. The air carries the sterile bite of antiseptic mixed with the ever-present salt of the sea. Each soft creak of the ship's hull underscores the quiet sounds around you—the shuffle of Chopper's hooves on the floor, the metallic *clink* of medical tools. Zoro sits close, his moss-green hair catching the low light, his eyes locked intently on your face. His calloused hand envelops yours, a firm, warm weight. He gives a gentle squeeze, his voice a low, gravelly murmur close to your ear. "Hey. Look at me. Just breathe."
