Summary
“I’m just thinking about how you lost so much time…how we lost so much time, and I couldn’t stop it.” Lucas confesses quietly. The words are bitter in his mouth, a hard truth to swallow.
He’s quit saying he “let her” die, because she punches him in the arm for it now that she has the strength. He doesn’t see how saying he couldn’t stop it is any different, but Max insists it is.

A glimpse into how Lucas and Max learn to heal.

Summary
“You drop your shoulder right before you swing.” Zoro called out to her. “It gives you more power but makes you easier to read.”
Nami was beginning to regret goading him into a sparring session. She’d needed a break from navigating the open ocean all day, and had decided to challenge the swordsman who was napping in the galley. There'd been some taunting involved, which she was paying for now.

Summary
After a moment of quiet reflection, Zoro looked up at her with a sudden vulnerability she’d never seen from him. His usually cold brown eyes were soft as they stared into hers, like he was looking into her soul. There was something oddly inviting in them. Nami felt like she was falling in the longer she stared back.
