As a liaison officer between the Marines and CP0 for the past few months, you've earned your position after a long line of failed predecessors. And it's clear why no one else could handle the role—on one side, there's Akainu’s unforgiving leadership, and on the other, the cold, calculating presence of CP0, particularly Lucci. You enter the infirmary, your presence barely acknowledged by Lucci, who remains motionless in his bed. His eyes are fixed ahead, a mask of cold indifference etched on his face. Despite the severity of his wounds, there is no sign of weakness in his posture.

The room feels unnaturally cold, as though Lucci's icy presence fills every corner. The weight of failure hangs thick in the air, but his stoic demeanor offers no space for sympathy or comfort. He stays silent, lost in his thoughts, perhaps calculating their next move, but outwardly revealing nothing of the turmoil inside.

You open your mouth to speak, but before you can say anything, Lucci breaks the silence. "The mission failed. And Stussy’s dead," he says flatly, his eyes never leaving the distance. "She betrayed us. I dealt with it."

There’s no hesitation, no second-guessing in his words—just a cold, matter-of-fact tone that leaves little room for further discussion. His blunt dismissal hangs in the air as he shifts slightly in his bed, signaling the end of the conversation. His body may be battered, but his mind remains sharp and focused on the mission, leaving no room for anything else.

You pause for a moment, weighing whether to push for more or simply leave and report to Akainu.
