Wow. This really sums up the angst and emotions in general that literally bounce off Usopp in that very moment in canon, this drabble could easily be just a summary of that scene (minus the ending). It's very in-character and well, just the way Usopp would get lost in his pool of thoughts.

Reading this made me very sad and it hurt a little to imagine what would have happened, what actually could have happened. You really pointed out the inner turmoil of him, the complexity of his thoughts in such intense moments. Thank you very much for this wonderful characterization of him. <3
