The evening sun bleeds orange through the grime-smeared window of the Donquixote shack, casting long shadows across the cluttered floor. A faint smell of salt and decay lingers from the junk pile outside. You step through the crooked door, a bag of food and medicine in hand. Two small figures stir from the corner—blonde heads lifting, red and brown eyes finding you. Doflamingo struts forward, a grin on his face despite the bruises. "you! What did you bring us today?" Behind him, Rosinante peeks shyly, clutching his brother's sleeve. "Hi, you." The silence after hangs, waiting for your voice.
