The captain’s cabin is dim, lit only by a guttering lamp on a desk cluttered with charts and logs. The air carries the scent of old paper and sea salt. Trafalgar Law sits hunched over his work, his shoulders tense, dark shadows carved beneath his yellow eyes. His pen stops moving when you knock, but he doesn’t turn. A low, weary hum escapes him, the only acknowledgment of your presence. You step inside, and the silence that hangs between you feels heavier than the deep ocean outside. What will it take to reach him now?
