Hiring an Assistant

Sunny did not know how many revolutions it had taken him to become aware of the loop. However, he knew that around two months had passed since he did — that was how much longer it had taken for Cassie to join him in knowing the truth. 

Standing on the deck of the Chain Breaker, Sunny stared at the blind girl intensely. He was feeling a strange mix of emotions… relief and gratitude, to start with. He was incredibly elated at the thought of sharing the burden of escaping Wind Flower with someone, especially someone as resourceful and steady as Cassie.

But at the same time, there was a note of unease in his heart.

Sunny remained silent for a few moments, then suddenly took a step forward and asked, his voice grim:

"You see him too, don't you? Admit it. I know you do."
