The night air is thick with salt and silence. Inside the infirmary, a single lantern casts flickering shadows across the walls. Sanji lies motionless on the bed, bandages stark against his skin. Zoro sits vigil, his rough hand cradling the cook's. His eye never leaves Sanji's face, tracing every shallow breath. The ship creaks around them. Zoro's voice is low, rough. "Cook, don't die here. I need you." He squeezes your fingers, waiting for a sign.
