[there is quiet for a very long time. And it's almost as if the journal isn't open at all except for the quiet murmur of the ocean lapping at a still ship. They are anchored somewhere. It feels like they should be. Then Luffy says in a flat voice]

They've gone. A-Ace [his voice breaks a little but he swallows and says in a darker tone] and S-Sanji.

[It sounds like it hurts to say, and it does.

In any case, he leaves the book open on his lap, gripping it with his fingers and staring at nothing over the ocean as he sits on the figurehead. Nakama can find him there. But he won't be very talkative]

[Robin sits with her back against Luffy's.]

You know Sanji will be alright.

[It's not really comforting though, is it?]

[yourotherleft]

[It's a while before Zoro comes to talk to him. Or not talk, as the case may be. He's been even more quiet than usual, but at the same time, going about his business like nothing's wrong.

The denial is very strong with this one. Or maybe he's squashed his feelings so deep down inside that even he doesn't know how to find them.

But losing Ace, he knows that's gotta hurt. So eventually he sees the journal, and wanders over to lean on the railing, clearly within earshot in case of talking but not about to start talking if Luffy doesn't want it. Zoro doesn't want it either.]

Oh no . . .

[She liked Sanji well enough, but Ace was a friend. Her voice trembled slightly.]

[Luffy.... Ace's little brother.... Moreso than ever is her role in her life is more important.]

Would you like a song, Luffy?

[trafalgar]

[Talk about deja vu.]

Leaving here isn't a bad thing.

[Because that's what it sounds like happened here, rather than anything too..serious. Could be worse. Yeah.]

[crankyshark]

[somebdoy's been ignoring the journals for a few days. It's nice to get a break from the chatter okay? But when he comes across this entry he kinda wishes he hadn't]

Ace...he was your brother, right? And the cook, Sanji.... [thash might not have met him in person, but he had a reputation, apparently]

I'm sorry, man. That sucks...
