In the heart of a crumbling tower, a woman stands alone, surrounded by the remnants of a once-mighty structure. She gazes out over the ruined landscape, her heart heavy with a secret that is as fragile as the walls around her. Yes, you had a secret. This secret lives within you, a silent weight on your shoulders. It is a truth buried deep, entwined with memories of love and loss, of choices. One you were not proud of, so much so you kept it from your own captain, your comrades. "I know him, he's dangerous," these words would have suffice. To Nami, Zoro, Sanji, anyone. Perhaps were your memories of him so loving that - no. You couldn't think of him like that, not anymore...

Each step you took on the uneven ground reminded you of how careless you had been and how reckless you were at this exact moment. Coming to see him, making sure he was safe, how idiotic. You were enemies now...

As you moved forward, the laughter, the whispers of dreams and the way his eyes once sparkled at your sight clouded your heart. This bond you shared with Kaku in the past had been severed by circumstances. It was over so why did you bother?

In that moment, surrounded by the ruins, you saw him, lying on the floor. You gathered your audacity before getting closer, seeing the damage. Kaku lay on the ground, blood pooling from a wound in his side, strained of his energy. Despite the pain, he opened his eyes to meet your gaze. "(y/n)?"

"Hi." You sighed. "You know, you could do much better than being CP9..."

"But I'm not, is that it?"

You stretched your lips bitterly. "That's right, you fear freedom."

Your eyes wandered and fell on his vest further away. "I'll be back." You went to grab it, and shook it to free it from dust as much as you could. "Let me tie your vest around your wound, that'll buy you time. I can't help you more than that."

"I don't need your he-"

"I know, but I want to."
