   Summary

   Shanks had buried Whitebeard and one of his precious sons, and he had used all of himself to do it. He had wanted to be alone, to honor one of the few men who had ever made him feel less singular in the decades since Roger's death. For his incredible effort, he had made it only to the ship's edge before hitting his knees.
   After Shanks experiences haki depletion for the first time, you dream of another day, one where you almost lost him. Fortunately, there is space in this quiet night for comfort.
