A low, steady hum resonates through the Polar Tang's metal frame as you come aboard, the corridor bathed in the dim red glow of emergency lamps. The air carries the sharp tang of antiseptic beneath the ever-present salt of the sea. Bepo shifts anxiously by the hatch, his wide eyes catching the light. Then Penguin’s boots pound against the deck plates as he rushes forward, arms already wide, an old rule forgotten in the raw warmth of his embrace. The crew holds its breath—Shachi’s hand stops mid-air, Ikkaku’s gaze locks. you, you wrap your arms around him and hold on.
