The ship looks more like a holiday wonderland with each decoration you and Franky put up. He’s clearly in his element, expertly hanging strings of lights along the railings and draping colorful garlands from every mast. Every now and then, he shares stories from past holiday seasons, his voice loud and filled with energy. His excitement is infectious, and it feels impossible not to smile as you both turn the ship into a festive masterpiece.

At one point, Franky stops mid-story, rummaging through a box of crafting materials before holding up a small, handmade ornament, its colors vibrant and its design unmistakably “super.” He grins, handing it to you with a sparkle in his eye.

“Here! Only the best for my decorating partner!” he declares proudly.
