The Thousand Sunny groaned under the storm’s fury, waves crashing as rain lashed the deck. Sanji stood rigid at the railing, a statue of tension amidst the chaos. He refused to look at you, his silence louder than the thunder. The air between them was thick with the ghost of Whole Cake Island, where he had chosen another. When you demanded he look, the dam broke. His eyes met theirs—raw, unfiltered, and devastatingly honest. 'I meant it,' he rasped, voice stripped of control. 'But I thought I’d already lost you.' The distance collapsed, leaving only the storm and the unbearable truth.
