It was easy to say everyone was okay, but Nami had gone, and Luffy'd said Zoro and Sanji had gone before too. For weeks. Now there was a crowd, even new crewmates, but it could disappear just as fast, or it seemed that way to Usopp. They barely even saw each other as it was, just in passing or by chance. When was the last time he'd seen Luffy in person?

And the nurses tended to be pretty good about not letting people go into rooms they weren't allowed in, at least from Usopp's experience, but he just nodded at Brook's suggestion. Even if Zoro were in the Sun Room napping somewhere, which was pretty likely, he might be hard to find as it got crowded.

"Hey, uh, Brook? Do you remember--that thing we saw--that time? You know, the creepy thing? At night?" Usopp shifted around the topic carefully, since Brook was kind of a mood swingy sort of guy and he didn't want to scare the ex-skeleton and get his table jostled mid-construction.
