week 7 | saturday
[Well damn it sure got crowded.
Don't get him wrong; Sanji is ecstatic this all worked out, but he's working on very little sleep and so decides he'll meet people in private for a last goodbye.
Of course Eichi is on his list. He'll leave the kid alone so he can have some time with his boyfriend, but after that, gonna track him down (likely to his room) with a wide grin in place]
Yo.

[He says that first, curling some of his hair behind his ear as he looks to the ground, takes a step back and gives him breathing room.]
However... I've learned some important things about love and friendship while I was stuck in this place. Though I'm far from an expert, I believe that... if I was in the position of your Captain, even if it risked your death... I'd want you to come back to me.
Love and friendship are selfish things. I used to think that was bad, you know? That it was a weakness, a flaw... However, that selfishness is such a grand strength that it can power past what you might view as a helpless situation. Those scenarios I thought only existed in fairy tales and books for children... they can come to be.

Haha.]
... You really do remind me of my crew sometimes.
[There's something so fond in his voice, even as he feels his throat constrict with tears. But he swallows them, and instead forces himself to breathe through the pain.]
Over there, I pretended to hate them so maybe they'd leave the island and save themselves. But all that shit backfired in my face. They got captured, I overheard my fiance telling my sister that she was gonna kill me and the rest of my blood relatives...
[Another swallow. He closes his eyes]
Sacrificing myself didn't work at all. Acting like the villain just created more fuckin problems. I didn't think I deserved to be saved at that point.
... I still don't think it, but y'know, Luffy would probably punch me in the face for being a sad sack of shit and drag me back anyway...

No matter what you try to do to remove friends like that... they'll look past it. I've been learning that myself. I once had my idol, my true hero, crawling on his knees at my feet to gain power. I felt horrible and wonderful all at once... but he came to my side when all of those "friends" that I had crushed left. Even after all that I did to him... he's the closest one by my side to this day.
[It's wild!]
In any case, Sanji, don't we all believe that we don't deserve this or that? In the end, it's not up to us, what we deserve or don't deserve. It's out of our hands. So... if you'll allow me to speak for Luffy-kun in this case... I think you should return to him. I think you should run at him with all of your strength and call out for help.
