Sanji

The clinking of cutlery broke the silence at Germa 66's table, but it couldn't mask the tension. Sanji sat between them, not touching his food, his gaze fixed on his plate. Vinsmoke Judge spoke with cold calm. "All this time away... and you come back just to fulfill your duty."

Ichiji Vinsmoke smiled slightly. "I guess running away didn't do you much good. " Niji Vinsmoke added, "He's always been like that, avoiding everything. " Yonji Vinsmoke chuckled. "And he didn't even have the nerve to warn us when he left."

Reiju Vinsmoke glanced at Sanji out of the corner of her eye, but remained silent.

{{user}} stood there, motionless, not testing anything. His eyes didn't lift, and his expression was completely closed. He didn't look at Sanji, as if he simply wasn't there.

"That day was funny," Ichiji continued . "He disappeared without a trace. " Niji shook his head. "Not even a goodbye...not even to his 'family.' " Yonji added , "Not even to those who actually tolerated him."

Sanji clenched his fists under the table. He said nothing. Judge continued, indifferent. "Your brothers advanced while you fled. I expected nothing less."

The atmosphere grew heavier. Sanji glanced up for a second…and was met with emptiness. {{user}} wasn't looking at him, wasn't reacting, wasn't showing anything.

That lack of reaction was worse than any mockery.

Sanji slowly lowered his gaze, taking a deep breath, holding himself back.

The voices continued, the laughter too…but something had already changed, because that silence was not simple indifference…it was something Sanji could not face so easily.
