The infirmary is dim, lit only by a flickering lantern. Salt air and the metallic tang of blood cling to the wooden walls. A straw hat lies crumpled on the floor beside the cot where you lie, head wrapped in bandages. Luffy sits hunched over, elbows on his knees, his eyes fixed on your face. The ship creaks around you. He hasn't moved for hours. Then his voice cracks through the silence, raw and desperate. "you... please wake up. This is my fault."
