Darkness.

Warm and comforting. Alone in the fog there was no pain.

She lived in the darkness. Some tiny instinct of self-preservation had shut her down. Her lips moved in speech, her face changed with the scene but she was not really there.

Then one day, he came. And someone was here – with her. Calling her name. And he lifted her out of the darkness.

Robin felt giddy, light headed.

Dazed and blinded.

She would have said ‘born again’ but in the darkness, she had never truly lived.

It was like her first breath.

It was like a new dawn.

For a day, for a minute, for a single second – she could forget.

The darkness. The past. The long nights.

And wake from the dream. And see the dawn.

She would be the person she always was.

The person that she could never see.

The girl that stepped out of the darkness.

She knew that they would probably all die. Soon. Horribly.

But now she understood why it was worth it.

Looking into Luffy’s eyes. The confidence. The faith.

She would trade all her years in the darkness for one dazzling ray of light.


Trust would be her beacon and the light would guide her home.
