    Summary

    Predictably, Baby 5 is nowhere in sight. Despite Doflamingo's reassurance, Crocodile has his doubts that the bird's daughter will return after what he did.

    And so he waits as the crimsons of late afternoon bruise the clouds with a cool-toned twilight, haloing the new moon like a black eye. The inhabitants of the Dressrosan palace busy themselves with arbitrary chaos, the aimless buzzing of a beehive missing its queen.

    Crocodile is so used to the Family's antics that he doesn’t even think much of the gunshot. It's only when it's long past sunset and Doflamingo remains conspicuously absent that he realizes its lack of an echo means something might have been actually hit.

    Or more concerningly, someone.

    ---------

    Doflamingo makes an exception to the Blood Law.

    You never realise just how many vendors are at festivals shouting ‘try our dumplings!’ and ‘play our game!’ until you have to actively stop your flustered wife from following every single one of them.

    Summary

    It begins right after the incident with the radio.

    Yonoi kept the torn red flower Celliers had bitten off, its petals limp in his calloused hands.

    He can’t bring himself to let it go. He studies it as though it might burn him, as if it’s radioactive and will poison him if he touches it too long.

    Then, without thinking, he presses it to his lips, imagining the dark pink flower to be Celliers’ lips instead. It tastes like he’d always imagined Celliers would: sweet, fleeting, and just out of reach.

    Summary

    You, Yonoi had said, once the shock had gone through his system. I thought you came home for good. Why did you come back?

    You said something about cherry blossoms, Celliers had said, as though everything was normal. As though Yonoi had not missed him and had not wanted to scratch him when he saw him at his doorstep.

    (Yonoi takes Celliers out on a trip around Tokyo throughout the seasons.)
