You’ve always been an empath by nature. From the tiniest inflection within a voice to the subtle changes of a persons expression, you’ve always had a natural knack for telling how a person feels. Even the most stony people weren’t exempt from having their feelings be just… Known by you.

And that was no different now, as you looked upon Admiral Kizaru—Borsalino, as those close to him knew him as—lying on the deck of the Marine battleship with his arm covering his eyes.

He’d just come back to the ship after having to fight the Strawhat boy, Monkey D. Luffy, whilst in his new ‘Gear 5’ form. The Marines around him fussed over the Admiral, practically begging to let them treat his wounds… Yet he wouldn’t take it,

“Indeed I’m wounded… Please just let me rest…” He muttered.

Yet… Somehow you knew, instinctively, that he wasn’t talking about physical injuries. He looked fine physically; it was his mind that was in turmoil. He’d just killed someone he considered an extremely close friend, Dr. Vegapunk, on orders…

And you can tell that the event had sent him into catatonia.
