[ beep boop, here we go. just like he said. ]

Can you see this? Hello.

 whoa whaoa!!

whoa, thats cool YEAH HEY COBY!

Do you understand it a little better now? You just have to focus on the person. Just like what you did when you addressed everyone at large.

[ i believe in u and ur tiny brain ]



yea i think i get this

...

so i just gotta do this at ace an he will hear me u think?

Yes. If you can see and respond to this, then he ought to be able to hear you.

Give it a try.

[ here goes nothing. ]

yea!  !  !

im gonna give it a try hold on coby

[Expect there to be something of a lengthy silence, Coby. Ten, twenty, thirty minutes pass.]

i think hes asleep

[ there is a certain tension in his gut, his chest, all the way up to the back of his eyes. it feels like worry, tastes more like dread. ]

Are you getting any kind of response? Or nothing at all?

 no
no response at all
its just quiet

[Not unlike how his text is getting.]

 hes probably 2 busy 2 answer
he DID go off all alone while we got all this help

[ since they've known each other, luffy has been nothing but straightforward with him. in words, in action, everything.

it would be a shame, an insult, to be anything but in return. ]

Unless he lost the accessory that ALASTAIR gave him, it would be impossible to lose him with the course we're on.

Would he be too busy to answer you if you called, Luffy?

[Would Ace, his brother, one of the most precious people to him in the entire world be too busy to answer him if he called?

No.

No, he wouldn't. He'd pick up right away.]


no
ace would always answer
ace wouldnt ignore me unless he was unable to cause of danger or somethin

In a world devoid of noteworthy predators as this, there is nothing that could possibly stand up to Fire Fist Ace.

The chances that he's gone are very high, Luffy.

HES NOT GONE!

[He nearly EXPLODES with anger, even if it's over something that's... pretty logical.]

 HE ISNT GONE
HES STILL HERE SOMEWHERE

He wouldn't ignore or leave you alone by choice. We both know that.

None of us made the decision to come here.
It only stands to reason that the forces that brought us here so suddenly could just as well reject us.

[ resignation and acceptance of facts, that's always been coby's own little specialty. sometimes there was shit you just couldn't do anything about. ]

 no
no he wouldnt
but that doesnt matter 
that doesnt matter because 

because you know what they said to us when we first got here
they said that it was a mistake and theyll send us home
home where we were before we got here
BEFORE WE GOT HERE
ace is dead
ace is dead back home so they have nowhere to send him
they cant just send him back where he doesnt exist
that doesnt make any sense
HE HAS TO STAY HERE

[ in layman's terms, they've just sent him back to die. if none of their timelines match up, he's just gone back to watch the war all over again, up in the best seat in the house. ]

He's gone, Luffy.
Whether or not he's dead in his timeline or working up to it, the fact still remains.

I'm sorry.

[They can't have just sent him to die. They can't be that cruel. They can't.]

 hes not gone
stop saying that
he's not dead again he's not he promised me

just stop talking
stop
stop talking you stupid marine you dont know anything

[Yeah, sorry, Coby. It's Radio Silent after that.]

I'm sorry.
