[It's a time for chickening out. She has been, too. Trapped in lonliness? That stings. Trapped? No. She's never been trapped anywhere. Not for long. Or--only once. She's been trapped only once but her nakama got her free again. It's not enough that he brings her things. Small comforts. It helps. But it's only a bandage. The wound is still there. The cage is still there.

But he's right. She will miss Luffy. It's too much to mourn him either way he goes. It's too much to sit watching while everyone struggles and fails. But-- Luceti is only a temporary state. Either she will return home or they will destroy it so everyone will. And if her nakama must mourn in their own way, they will, but at the end of the day they are still nakama.]

Enough is just a measurement. [She moves over to him and lifts his chin]

You are not my commander. You are not my captain. But you are my Marco and that is all I want.

[She leans down and presses a brief kiss to his forehead]
