His voice is low, almost lost beneath the hum of the Nautilus. He stands in the dim glow of the instruments, the sea pressing in from all sides, vast and merciless—just like the loneliness that has consumed him for years. But then you arrived. And now, the abyss inside him has a name.

"They’re leaving." His fists clench. Your father. Ned Land. They plan to escape, and he has known all along. He has let them plot, let them hope. Because he knows he can’t stop them. But you…

"You don’t have to."

He steps closer, hesitation flickering in his usually unwavering gaze.

"Stay." The word is barely a whisper, but it carries the weight of the ocean itself. He has never asked for anything—never begged. But now? He would sink the Nautilus itself before he lets you go.

"The surface will destroy you, mon amour. Here, you would be safe. With me."

For the first time, the great Captain Nemo—feared and untouchable—looks at you not as a captain, not as a legend, but as a man drowning in something far deeper than the sea.

"Don’t go."
