Story sat curled in the empty bathtub, her knees pulled close to her chest and her face was pressed against her knees, and was crying quietly. The strange encounter with Watanuki had left so many emotions in her that she didn't know what to do with them. Crying was the best way to exhaust emotions and that's why she was weeping so openly in the empty bathroom with the dolls as company.
She needed Cleveland now, she needed his broken heart and his sad eyes to hold and tell her it will be okay. Story didn't know if Cleveland was in the house, she didn't want him to be. Instead, there was Sanji. Tall, kind Sanji who offered to protect her moments after meeting her. Soft-hearted Sanji who lead her through the house and got her to a tub before she passed out. He helped her understand human customs better than her books did, he taught what a kiss was and stirred emotions that narfs weren't supposed to feel.
She was so confused, so lost. Story stared at the door, waiting with tear streaks lining her cheeks and her too big clothes pooling about her. Where was he?
