Just Like That

The members of the cohort remained silent for a few long moments, staring at the chunk of black rock with complicated expressions. Perhaps for most of them, what had just happened in the small spherical chamber did not hold a lot of meaning… but for Sunny and Cassie, it did. 

Especially for him. 

Letting out a shaky breath, Sunny suddenly felt like his legs were about to give out. Taking a step back, he swayed slightly and lowered himself to the first step of the narrow stairs. His eyes were still glued to the fallen black stone, but his gaze had become distant. 

Cassie leaned on the Guiding Light, her face motionless. 

Nephis, Jet, and Effie watched them silently. 

After a while, the huntress finally spoke:

"So… it's done? Just like that?"

Sunny looked up at her, struggling to answer. 

'Just like that?'
