    Summary

    It feels a little like nothing should ever be beautiful again, but here they are; the wind whistles, and the grass is a vibrant and brilliant green, sky blue and interspersed with white-cotton clouds.

    The memorials tower above them both. The engravings are pristine, the memorials themselves beautiful. Bright spots of colour against white - what Marco thinks must be - marble. Their names. Their legacies. Their memories.

     

    Grief lessens, but never goes away.

    Summary

    If she hadn't known it was him, she would have thought it was an impostor, or someone wearing his face―a shapeshifter whose glamour might have fooled those who didn't know him, because beyond his appearance, there was no trace of the captain she loved, who laughed and sang and filled the room like the horizon, and who was many things, but indifferent had never been one of them.

    In the maelstrom of her feelings, a single word resurfaced, flotsam from the sinking wreck of her realisation, spoken in his voice, and that cold, unfeeling cadence.

    Property.

    The noble had addressed him as Saint.

    Summary

    Beck's jaw clenches, and he bites his lip like he wishes he'd kept that cigarette in his mouth. Shanks should have been aware of a visitor on board, conscious or not, and his disorientation strikes at some of his first mate's worst nightmares. "Marco the Phoenix wanted to say hi," he tells him instead.

    "Huh-- Marco?" Shanks tries to sit up, but he aborts the movement about halfway, flinching as the gesture pulls at the bandages wrapped over his chest and the remainder of his arm. "Marco's here?" he asks, trying to sound enthusiastic, but Marco can hear the strain in his voice and see the cold sweat reflecting what little light comes through his drawn curtains. His chest heaves with the effort of breathing. "You should've told me, I would've gone up to meet him."

    Summary

    The central square was nearly empty when they reached it; only the execution stand and two marines posted at its base remained. Gol D. Roger was a mountainous silhouette at the top, left on display to make an example of his rotting, bloated corpse.

    Marco glanced down at Shanks when he heard the click of a blade loosening from its sheath and saw the boy's intense, dark eyes fixed on the body of his captain.
