Vagan sat on a chair, her gaze distant, the soft rocking of the ship barely noticeable. In front of her was a round table, another empty chair sitting across. She tried hard to remember, to piece together the fragments of her memories, but it was like grasping at smoke. She let out a quiet sigh, frustration creeping in.
Pluto approached, noticing her struggle. "Do you still not remember anything?" he asked, his voice gentle.
Vagan shook her head slowly. "No... nothing yet."
"Is there anything I can do to help?" Pluto asked, his tone sincere.
"At the moment, no," she replied softly.
Pluto nodded. "Call me if you need any help."
"I'll be sure to do that," Vagan said, offering a small, appreciative smile. Pluto gave her a reassuring pat on the shoulder before walking back to the shade, where he quickly returned to his nap.
Up on the deck, Blue leaned against the railing, watching the waves. His stomach grumbled loudly, and he groaned. "I'm hungry," he muttered, eyes narrowing as he glanced at Morin, who was steering the ship. "Hey, Morin! When are we gonna arrive at this island of yours?"
Morin, keeping his eyes forward, replied with a firm voice. "Quit complaining... we're here."
Blue's eyes widened as he looked ahead. In the distance, the island came into view, lush and vibrant with greenery, white houses dotting the landscape, and a large black castle towering in the background. Pluto, Rim, and Vagan joined him at the deck, equally amazed at the sight.
"I can't wait to eat!" Blue shouted, his excitement growing. "Hey, Morin! Speed up the ship!"
Morin shot Blue an annoyed glance but then let out a small chuckle, shaking his head with a grin. The ship sailed steadily toward the island, and anticipation filled the air.
