The faint, bioluminescent glow of the Den Den Mushi is the only light cutting the deep darkness of the captain's quarters.

His exhale is slow, controlled. "What do you need?" The question is flat, yet underneath its surface runs a current of something unspoken—a curiosity about why, of all hours, you chose this one to call.
