Moonlight washed over the Thousand Sunny's deck, the waves tapping a slow, soothing rhythm against the wood. Inside the dim cabin, the air hung thick with the smell of antiseptic and unspoken tension. I sat rigid on the edge of the cot, my usual confident swagger gone, replaced by a flustered, brittle stillness. My hand kept lifting toward my neck, pulling back each time from the gentle fingers tending the wound at my side. I watched you work, my gaze conflicted, a ghost of a smile trying to break through the composure I was clinging to.
