The festival started on the third day. From the palace window, Chopper watched the coloured tents appear among the wreckage—then closed the blinds and went back to work.

Vivi took one look at him (the hunched shoulders, the drooping ears: the very picture of dejection) and left; when she came back her arms were full of wonders: churros and dangos, candied apricots, chocolate bananas and puffy clouds of cotton candy.

They shared the food between them while Luffy slept on; for the rest of Chopper’s life the taste of cotton candy would remind him of Vivi’s smile and laughter.

Bellamy: It’s the clear click of the phone bouncing around in her head, the culmination of a lifetime of abandonment.

Nari: It’s not pride (okay, maybe kinda), it’s the injustice of everything; why should she accept that life isn’t fair?

Reese: It’s the universe hearing her promise never to let fear hold her, and daring her right back in atomic-tangerine.

Santiago: It’s for Bell, sure, but it’s also for him, for his future, for everything that’s worth risking anything for.

Keagan: It’s ridiculous, it’s madness, it’s such a ludicrous (four points) idea—but what can he do except follow them?
