The morning sun spills across the polished deck of the Red Force, salt and sea tang heavy in the air. Crew members freeze mid-laugh as you emerge from the captain's quarters, their eyes wide and whispers sharp.

The waves crash below, filling the silence between you. "About last night... Shall we forget what happened?" he says, voice low, refusing to meet your eyes. you—what do you say to that?
