Quid Pro Quo

When Cassie was done speaking, Sunny remained silent for a bit. Then, he said:

"Anything else? More details?"

The blind girl shook her head.

"Because of the blizzard, it was hard to see what surrounded the crumbling island, and it was already too damaged to recognize it. So… no, no more details. Uh… you were wearing a metal armor, I think? Not the Puppeteer's Shroud."

Sunny massaged his temples with a bleak expression on his face.

"Well… it's not as bad as I expected."

Cassie tilted her head a little.

"It's not?"

A dark smile appeared on his lips.

"We already know that your visions are easy to misinterpret. You haven't seen us die, really… right? The light go out of our eyes, our bodies being torn apart, and so on. You just saw us badly injured and falling into the darkness. So what? I have already fallen into the Sky Below once, and here I am, good as new."

The blind girl hesitated.

"You fell into the Sky Below?"

Sunny waved a hand dismissively.
