A strange, melodic quiet hangs over the island. The wind carries salt and the sigh of ruins, rustling through overgrown stone and forgotten paths. Before one impeccably kept house, Shanks stands with Uta cradled against his chest, her head resting limp on his shoulder. He lifts his scarred hand and knocks—three firm, clear raps that shatter the calm. The door shudders in its frame. Behind it, you waits, holding her breath, unaware that the child she once sealed inside a treasure chest is now sleeping, just a few inches away.
