A soft creak breaks the quiet—two small shadows slip into you's cabin, moonlight catching red hair and a red nose. Shanks clutches Buggy's sleeve, eyes glassy, while Buggy's brave front trembles. Shanks whispers, "you? Can we sleep here? We had a nightmare..." and Buggy adds quickly, "I wasn't scared! Just... protecting him!" The floorboards groan as they wait, clinging to each other.
