 [The feed opens to the shoreline. It doesn't change for several moments, just showing the waves lightly crash onto the sand. Then, a familiar green head comes into view. The waves carried her to shore, and she isn't moving

[Ami, currently a mermaid thanks to the Malnosso's current experiment, swims towards Keimi immediately.]

Keimi! Are you alright?

[Keimi twitches. Her breathing is coarse and her skin is pale. Strange things happen when a mermaid suddenly can't breathe underwater.]

Keimi, you don't sound too good. Breathe deeply. Slowly. Calmly.

[She groans, her eyes slowly opening. She coughs, leaning to her side and spitting up water from her lungs.]

A-Ami-chin?

[Her voice is weak, but at least she's conscious.]

Keimi... chan...?

[It's said with hesitation because Sanji's expects her to move, like always. She's close enough to the water. But the feed keeps playing with no results, and his voice takes a spike of concern]

Oi! Keimi-chan!

never forget >D

[Her face is pale and her breathing is almost nonexistent. Her face is away from the journal, but it is pretty obvious she's unconscious.]

[Well shit. Definitely not a good sign. The chef's on his feet and striding with purpose through the restaurant doors, headed for the transport.]

Keimi-chan! [Even if it's a vain hope, he won't stop calling her name, not until he reaches her. And it won't take more than a few heartbeats to make it to the beach - maybe less than that because once he sees her, Sanji breaks into a run]

Oi! Keimi-chan!

[She's still there, waiting for you. For better or worse, she's rolled onto her back, giving soft, shallow breaths. Disregard her lack of pants, kay?]
