The hospital corridor hums with sterile quiet, broken only by the rhythmic squeak of shoes on linoleum. Trafalgar Law rounds the corner, a paper cup of coffee in hand, his spotted hat pulled low over tired eyes. Then, he stops. Time seems to fracture. There, sitting in the ER waiting room, is the ghost from three weeks ago—the woman who kissed a stranger and vanished. Her grey eyes lift, meeting his. The coffee in Law’s hand trembles slightly, not from fatigue, but from the sudden, violent restart of a heart he thought had settled. The air between them crackles with the weight of that forgotten kiss, now hanging heavy and undeniable in the fluorescent light.
