Sunny was enjoying a hot shower After their short conversation, Master Jet had sent hihtmare" The unnatural slumber of the Spell would slon the body's metabolism, and the medical apparatus he had been strapped into was supposed to take care of the rest, but he was still asleep for three whole days
Even if only psychological, the scent of bloodshed and despair lingered around hi hi disaster of the Flaw
He was alone in the police station's showers, relaxing under the streams of hot water After a bit of time had passed, Sunny reluctantly turned the tap off and walked over to the towel rack Coincidentally, he saw hies in his physique were subtle, but noticeable His pale skin seemed a little healthier, his muscles a bit more pronounced He looked slender and lean instead of eht luster to his dark hair and a shi+ne to his eyes
However, he was still rather diminutive Not exactly a picture of masculine handsomeness, to say the least
'Flower boy, huh?' Sunny thought, full of bitterness
Then he suddenly froze, noticing so at himself in the mirror, the reflection of his shadow seeh the shadoered its head and quietly facepal his shadoith a nervous look However, everything see exactly what it was supposed to do, repeating his every motion
ReadNovelFull a bit strange "You have just lared at the shadohich obediently glared back
"Did you move or not?"
The shadow enthusiastically shook its head
'What the?!'
"What do you mean, "no"?! You've just moved your head! Do you think I'm a fool?"
The shadow seeed
Sunny was left with his ape
"Your shadow is more independent than most It is an invaluable helper," he ht This was how the Spell had described his Aspect Ability
But what exactly could his shadow do?
He decided to experiment a little
"Hey, you Tell me what you can do"
The shadoas silent and ht It doesn't have vocal cords'
As though that made any sense! Shadoere not supposed to have muscles either, and yet it kne to move
"Uh… show me?"
No reaction It see to be an ordinary, lifeless blob of darkness
Sunny sighed
'I''
Independent or not, the shadoas still a part of him It was athe shadow, he really should have been asking hi to talk, are you?"
Sunny closed his eyes and directed his perception within, exploring hi to the real world He felt the beating of his heart, the steady rising of his chest, the slight chill of the shower roo on the tiled floor Felt the ainst his skin
And there, on the verge of his consciousness, so new
A completely new sense
Sunny concentrated on it, and suddenly a whole other world opened to him It was hard to describe ords, just like one would have trouble explaining how hearing or touch feels
It was as though he could communicate with vast for of both their own shape and the surrounding space, guided by the different degrees of pressure they exerted on hiscame naturally and instantaneously, like an instinct
These forest one, but the deepest — didn't feel like an external entity It was like a part of his soul
Once Sunny grasped the feeling of it, he could sense the shadow just like he sensed his li was that his limbs were made out of flesh, and the shadoas ht
Sunny opened his eyes and looked at the shadow Then, with a thought, he willed it to raise an arm
The shadow raised an arm
He willed it to sit, stand, turn around, kick Then he willed it to change shape, turning into a circle, then a line, then a monster And finally, back to his own silhouette The shadoas mercurial and fluid, like water The only constant was its size
"Ha! How about that?"
The shadow pouted, then reluctantly raised its thumbs
"But how are you useful?"
He willed the shadow to strike the towel rack It obediently moved and delivered a powerful kick Of course, since it was just a shadow, its leg passed over the towels har them to sway a little
"Is that… all you can do?"
In his hty tyrant into little pieces cracked and shatteredwith Shadow God any tiretful
The shadow looked at hiether, clearly offended
Sunny sighed and took a towel off the rack
"Alright I will explore it later"
