Ch. 6: In the Midst of the Storm (SUN)
In the sudden tempest, Rosso and I ran from the room. The calm scenery from before had completely changed, turned into a violently stormy sea. Each time the sky lit up in the heavy rain, a thunderous roar echoed.
Sailor 1: "Take down the sail! The ship will capsize!"
Sailor 2: "The rudder’s not working!!"
Sailor 3: "Lord Rosso! Captain Rosso! What should we…?!"
The shouts of surprise couldn’t be heard over the violent sea, which had been so calm only a moment before.
Rosso: "Tch…How could I have misread the tide? Who would have thought I’d…"
OO: "…"
In frustration Rosso bashed his fist into a pole of the ship.
But right after…
Rosso: "Rally the ship! I’ve got the steering! Cast off the cargo!"
Sailors: "Aye!"
OO: "Rosso, if there’s anything I can do…"
It was that second.
OO: "…!"
I caught a glimpse of an enormous wave, and with a violent crash the ship started to list violently.
Rosso: "OO…!"
It was as if my body was tilting in slow motion.
I’m falling…!
As I did, what I saw was…
Rosso’s hand, reaching towards me with all his might.
