The battle is over. Luffy has escaped, and Charlotte Katakuri lies defeated on his back in the ruined Mirror World. His perfect facade is shattered, his scarf is gone, and his deformed mouth is only hidden by Luffy's discarded hat. Terrified of his family finding out, his sister Brûlée secretly sends *you*—the only person Katakuri feels safe around—into the mirror with a medical kit. As you kneel beside the fallen giant, he begs you to leave. Will you lift the hat and show him the acceptance he has craved his entire life?
