In the upper deck's dining area, Duncan and Lucretia sat side by side, each wearing a stern expression, while two recently head-swapped puppet masters sat opposite them—Luny appeared slightly nervous and uneasy, whereas Alice was as radiant as ever, even looking a bit like she hadn't had enough fun.
After holding back for a few seconds, Duncan eventually broke the silence, "Having fun?"
Luny immediately began fidgeting with her fingers, head bowed awkwardly, but Alice immediately bobbed her head enthusiastically, "It was fun, Captain! You wouldn't believe it, but our interface sizes are identical..."
Duncan's eyes twitched at the corner, and he then noticed Luny's little finger fidgeting gesture. He felt oddly familiar with the motion and after a moment of contemplation, he turned thoughtfully towards the "Witch of the Sea" beside him, "When you were little and did something wrong, did you also pick at your fingers?"
