The touch of her skin, the softness of her hair. The way she smiled and laughed when she was having fun. Her screams and tears when she couldn’t keep them in anymore. Her selflessness, even though she is only sixteen.

Every part of Vivi is a thing Nami is attracted to. Every smile and sob is engraved into Nami’s memories, and she can honestly say that she is addicted to them. She needs Vivi like one would need a drug, and it pains her to leave her behind. It aches, and she isn’t sure if this is a good or a bad thing.

All she knows is that she misses Vivi more than anything. But there is nothing she can do to keep her, nor get her back. It isn’t possible. Arabasta needs her far more than Nami does and because the orange-haired girl is aware of that, she tries to let her go. They can’t even exchange letters, and that perhaps is the thing that makes her feel so sad. With Nojiko she could always send letters or visit when things got rough, yet with the princess she can’t. She can’t even visit Nojiko now.

At night she gets lonely. In her bed, which they had come to share, she feels alone and empty. Its cold without Vivi and her body reminds her of this fact mercilessly as she shivers under the once-warm sheets. The pillow that Vivi used still has her scent on it, so Nami hugs it tight in her sleep and breathes it in to soothe her.

She doesn’t know what she will do when it fades. It is the last thing she has left, and soon it too will be gone. Nothing of Vivi will remain, and that may be what finally makes her cry.
