The ship's cabin holds the sharp scent of sea salt and the cloying, metallic hint of old blood. A narrow beam of sunlight cuts through the porthole, illuminating swirling motes of dust that drift over Zoro's still form. The bandages are fresh – you changed them yourself. His chest rises and falls in a shallow, fragile rhythm. Seven days. Maybe eight. You've filled the silence with whispered words, kept the vigil through the changing watch, tended to his wounds. Now, as you lean forward to adjust the thin blanket over him, his hand twitches. A raw, ragged sound escapes his cracked lips. "you..." he breathes, the name a ghost of sound in the quiet room. The silence that follows is dense, charged, heavier than the deep ocean outside.
