The halls are silent. The night air is cold, and the blankets do nothing to ease the chill under Vivi’s skin.
Her father’s smile is so proud. The country cheers for her return.
And her nakama’s laughter rings through her mind, like the whispers of a ghost.
The image of the Going Merry disappearing over the horizon only burns more fiercely when she closes her eyes.
Yet Vivi knows the sunrise brings a new future, and she falls asleep to the phantom sounds of Nami’s gentle breathing against her ear, finding warmth in the imagined arms that wrap around her.
