After a very interesting conversation that provided Sunny revelations about the creation of life, he ended up getting slapped on the face due to his assumptions. Honestly, he wasn’t even mad.

It was rather deserved, considering the lapse in judgement he had.

’Seriously, how did I not make the connection?! They same part is used for both acts...’

Looking towards Dan Heng and March, he found that they were quite nonchalant considering the obvious damage to his face.

’Are they not worried that I’m being abused? How spineless...’

As he approached the two of them, Dan Heng spoke.

”We talked to Oleg about a few things. We might have a new course of action.”

Sunny nodded.

”I was listening in on the whole thing, so you don’t need to explain.”

The Happy shadow slipped away from March, who yelped as the jolly fellow glided over to Sunny.

He turned to Seele.

”I’ll bring these two to the hotel. Go tell your boss that I’m not giving up such a valuable asset.”

Seele opened her mouth to speak, before simply shaking her head in exasperation. She turned away as she went in the direction of Oleg.

Slightly disappointed at the lack of a snarky remark, Sunny turned to his Trailblazing companions.

”Well... I guess we have to go now.”

***

Rolling around in his hotel bed, Sunny frowned towards the ceiling. Not only did he have irregular moments where he simply passed out, but it seemed like the opposite was true as well.

Sighing, Sunny summoned the Finality’s Farewell. He allowed the shadows to pull him in, bringing him to the empty lobby of the Goethe Grand Hotel.

He had originally thought that the name was supposed to be a jab at the Goethe Hotel in the Overworld, but it turned out that the one on top was actually a branch of the main one down in the Underworld.

’Should have swapped the names.’

At least nobody was getting arrested in this one. Hopefully...

Walking out of the hotel, he faced Bronya, who had flinched when he opened the door.

There was no night sky in the Underworld, as the only thing above was the underside of the Overworld. There was a good chance that most of the people down her hadn’t seen the sky even once in their lives.

”Oh... I forgot you were here.”

Bronya bristled at his innocent remark.

”That’s quite rude.”

She lingered for a moment.

”Actually, seeing as there’s no one around... can I ask you some things?”

Not seeing any issue with that, Sunny simply nodded. He had his own questions he wanted to ask.

”This Stellaron you speak of... if you were to find it, how sure are you that you could stop the Eternal Freeze?”

...Now that he thought about it, would getting rid of the Stellaron really work? He didn’t have any past experience to draw on... probably.

Shrugging, Sunny replied with:

”Anything is possible. Maybe your planet will just explode when we find the Stellaron.”

A crooked smile appeared on her face.

”Although I appreciate you being sincere, that doesn’t exactly fill me with confidence.”

A short laugh escaped Sunny.

”Well, it doesn’t matter. I’ll save Belobog.”

He said that he would do it himself. The reason for that was — unlike Dan Heng and March — Sunny had a grudge to settle.

The world had practically damned this frozen hellscape, so it was only natural that he would become it’s salvation. He had made a promise after all.

As Sunny looked at the girl in front of him, his gaze darkened.

”Are you really okay with killing your mother?”

Her eyes widened.

Bronya didn’t say anything for a moment, before quietly saying.

”Of course not. But if it’s necessary for Belobog... then...”

Sunny listened to her for a moment, before sighing.

”To me, you sound too indecisive. If you ever need to make that choice, you should figure that out beforehand. I don’t think anyone would blame you no matter what choice you make.”

Anybody that did simply wasn’t human. It was only natural for someone to struggle with choosing the life of someone close to them, or the lives of people they hadn’t even met.

...Well, Sunny wouldn’t, but this wasn’t about him!

Bronya paused as she licked her lips.

”What would you do?”

Sunny blinked in confusion. Why would she ask him of all people?

”...I’m not the best person to ask. To me, it’s pretty simple. Even if countless lives were at stake, I would choose my family.”

Looking up at the Overworld, Sunny idly wondered how Rain was doing. She was probably living a happy life with that family of hers. A life without him in it.

It was better that way.

”...As I said, nobody would blame you... well maybe they would.”

Feeling a little awkward, Sunny continued.

”No matter what you choose, I wouldn’t blame you.”

Bronya stared at him strangely for a bit, before a soft smile appeared on her face.

”Is that so? I suppose I should thank you then, Sunny. You’re quite the admirable person.”

She seemed to mutter something else under her breath, but Sunny couldn’t hear it.

Blushing slightly from the compliment, he attempted to change the subject.

”But... I don’t think you should make any hasty decisions yet. We still don’t know enough about the situation.”

A more serious expression appeared on Bronya’s face.

”Yes, there are some... inconsistencies I’ve found.”
