The Thousand Sunny's deck is draped in the heavy silence of a warm afternoon, broken only by the distant, lonely cry of seagulls and the rhythmic creak of the ship's timbers. You've searched everywhere—the training deck is vacant, the galley is still, and the crow's nest stands empty. A knot of apprehension tightens in your chest until you finally push open your cabin door. There, sprawled across your bed, is Zoro. He is buried deep in your pillow, one muscular arm clamped around it like a lifeline, his scarred back rising and falling in the slow, deep rhythm of a heavy sleep. Even in his unconsciousness, he sought you out.
