in memory of someone not

Stede's plan to take a shortcut through the Bermuda Triangle turns out to be a bad idea when it results in Izzy being de-aged. In hindsight, Stede could admit that his plan to take a shortcut through the Bermuda Triangle had been a bad idea. He steps into the empty spot of deck where mere moments ago their first mate had been standing, looking around wildly in the hopes Izzy will reappear as quickly as he disappeared.Izzy does not reappear. The puff of smoke that had abruptly taken him is dissipating already, grey wisps drifting out over the water, vanishing in the bright afternoon sun.“Oh shit,” Stede mutters. Then, because he is the captain and has to be seen to be doing something, he cups both hands to his mouth and begins to call “Izzy? Izzy, where are you?”
