Days before, Sunny had been left alone on a peaceful beach.
He just stood there motionlessly for a while, holding Neph's dress awkwardly and not knowing what to do with it.
Was he supposed to just leave it here? Or return it?
What would that scene even look like? Simply imagining it was a little terrifying.
'Here... your dress. You left it behind the last time.'
His face slowly turned a beautiful shade of pink.
Eventually, Sunny sighed, folded the dress gently, and put it down.
He put his own clothes back on, summoned the Nebulous Mantle, then briefly rinsed the dirty plates in the river and placed it all back into the picnic basket. He placed the blanket there, as well, and finally put the folded dress on top of it.
By then, the velvet sky was illuminated by a scattering of bright stars, and the world was bathed in moonlight.
