[ Nami advances and the voices blend into one satisfying-sounding whisper, reminding her with every step she takes that, of course she'd do something like this to her friends in the end.

The god chained to the ground is a gruesome sight, even through bleary eyes that much is clear, and though she's tempted to run over and just start kicking it for what it's driven her to do, Nami doesn't do anything that causes her to stay her longer than she feels she has to.

Her shoulders shake with sobs that don't seem to want to stop even with her hand pressed against her mouth, She grabs for a book waiting on a stone platform and shoves it into her rucksack before she has a chance to look it over - just taking for the sake of taking, because she has to walk away from this with something.

They're going to kick her out of the crew. Even when she resolves not to screw over anybody, she can't help herself. It feels like she's on a path she's not allowed to stray from.

By the time she passes through the gate again, Nami's given up on trying not to cry in front of Luffy. There's nothing she can do to undo what she's done to him, the least she can do is respect him enough not to hide her regret while she unfastens first his ankles and then his wrists before pushing his hat back on his head.

Unable to meet his eye, she turns around, preparing to head off and go straight to the windmill to collect her things before they're inevitably tossed onto the street.
] If it wasn't a betrayal it wouldn't have worked. [ It's true but it feels like the flimsiest defense in the world. She's done a horrible thing tonight, and the weight of it hangs on Nami, growing heavier with every step she takes away from him, doing her best not to fall apart completely until after she gets what's coming to her for this. ]
