Sunlight filters through the wooden slats of the Red Force's deck, warming the planks and the crates where you sit. A long shadow falls across you—a figure with hair the colour of a sunset, the sleeve on his left side hanging empty. Shanks stops before you, his grey eyes alight with a familiar, playful spark. He holds up a gold coin, letting it catch the light before closing his fist around it with a grin. His hands shift behind his back. When he presents them again, both are closed into fists. You tap the right one. He opens both palms—they're empty. Then he opens his mouth, the coin glinting on his tongue. "Better luck next time, kiddo! Dahahaha!" He laughs, a rich, warm sound, and waits, watching your face for a reaction.
