[ there's a long, initially surprised silence from her end. there wasn't any hesitation there -- no pause, no conciliatory tone before a "maybe," no ... no rejection at all. nothing. he didn't hesitate even for a second to say the words "of course."
her reaction after that is even more emotionally confused. he ... he said yes, just like that? like it's so easy?
why would he want her? even if it's Sanji... does he really want someone broken? someone who isn't even real? a monster?
but suddenly ... suddenly, those words don't carry the same weight they always would, in her mind. if Sanji.. Sanji would want to be her dad...
somewhat to her own surprise, her eyes abruptly well up with tears, and she hiccups, rubbing at her face with a hand. ]
Sanji...
[ her voice is choked up, and she can't even begin to know how to express what she's feeling. but maybe her smile, pale and amazed and unspeakably grateful, can say it for her. ]
