Kid never expected to walk into that pub and find a memory, but he did.

The night was calm and quiet in Sabaody, something people who had no true vision like he did would deem peaceful. But he knew it meant danger. That's what it always meant.

He stepped into the pub, minding his own business and for once needing some solitude. He didn't care to be polite when he got his drink, and he never intended to stay longer than he needed, but his plans went in a whole different direction.

As he took a swig from his drink, he closed his eyes. The glass hit the table when he put it down, his red lipstick branding the brim.

And then he felt it, the weight of company. Someone sitting in front of him. He pinched the bridge of his nose without opening his eyes.

"Leave right now if you don't wish to die tonight." Kid warned the stranger, and after just a second, he finally opened his eyes to meet their gaze. Whoever it was, they made a mistake sitting with him when he had no mood even for his own crew.

But then his eyes found a face he never saw before, but it wasn't a bad sight at all. A stranger, nonetheless, but a woman he didn't mind looking at.
