Damn Great Steak

'It's actually her…'

Sunny did not want to admit it, but he was incredibly excited. A small smile appeared on his face, and he let out a long sigh.

Far below, his shadow waved back at Nephis. 

He was happy, and not only because it was Neph whom he had found. Sunny was also happy to find anyone at all… after days spent in solitude, he was starting to fear that the strangeness of the Great River was much more dire than he had thought, and that he was actually sent into an entirely different Nightmare — or perhaps epoch — than the other members of the cohort. 

In fact, he had been suppressing the gnawing fear of being the only human in this flowing world. 

'Thank the gods.'
