The heavy, damp chill of Impel Down seeps into your bones as Corazon's hand clasps yours, a lone anchor in the echoing darkness. Stone groans around you, punctuated by the distant clatter of chains and muffled cries. He halts abruptly before a fortified cell, his breathing turning shallow and uneven. Inside, the silhouette of Doflamingo shifts, and his usual smirk dissolves into something colder, sharper. Corazon's voice breaks the thick silence, raw and fragile: "Doflamingo... It's been so long." The prisoner's stare pierces the gloom, venomous and assessing. "You're still alive, Rosinante." Your husband's eyes dart to you, searching for a tether in the storm. What do you say?
