Lacquered Box

'Now this… is interesting.'

Sunny was stealthily making his way to the isolated inner courtyard of the port fortress. His shadows were on the move, too…

The one who had been observing the battle against the horde of Nightmare Creatures was flying across the battered surface of the wall, not paying any attention to the flashes of firing armaments. The one who had been hiding among the refugees had left them behind, approaching the courtyard from the other direction. 

The one that had been spying on Morgan hid itself within Cassie's shadow, and the one that had been following Nephis remained within hers. 

Currently, all of them were converging on a single point.

In the middle of the courtyard, surrounded by a wide ring of empty space, a long figure stood as numerous soldiers and Awakened aimed their weapons at it. 

Intricate armor of black steel, a beautiful face framed by curls of raven-black hair… and vivid, vibrant vermilion eyes.
