Sleep was avoiding Sunny For a while, he sat silently in the darkness, listening to the cal of the waves In this rareinto his mind However, he was too tired to seriously think about anything He arm, full, and relatively safe For now, that was h

Soon, the rhyth that she fell asleep Nephis was guarding the camp, motionless and, as always, a bit distant With her silver hair and fair skin, she looked like an alabaster statue

Sunny sighed He struggled for a bit, and then said quietly:

"Hey Can I ask you a question?"

Nephis glanced at hied The lack of an audible response clearly indicated that she remembered about his ability to see in the dark

"Sure"

'Would it be too personal?'

Sunny hesitated

Nephis was silent for a few moments

"Actually, I only had two The rope came from Cassie"

He raised an eyebrow

"Oh I see"

Realizing that her ansasn't really an answer, Nephis thought for a while and added:

"We lost most of our Memories when my father passed away The ones that remained were sold one by one over the years, to keep the fahtmare"

So that's hoas Sunny realized that the fall of the Ih than he had thought Still, so about it didn't make sense

"Surely, with your clan's reputation and standing, there were other ways toreaction, Nephis simply said:

"There were other reasons"

Then, she unexpectedly turned her head in his direction

"Yeah, go ahead"

Still, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed in hie him She showed no reaction at all After a few moments, she simply said:

"Because I want to"

'Because… she wants to?'

That was not the response Sunny expected to hear He was pretty sure that she would either lecture him about virtue and compassion or disclose soly weak Ability incredibly useful

However, she did neither Nephis expected hier, to the point of sacrificing an awakened ar she simply wanted to do

'Ridiculous!'

At first, he disht about it, the more disturbed he felt

Because, maybe, it was actually the truth

Due to the circus because he wanted to Most of the ti them because he needed to It was never a question of "want" it was always a question of "must" For him, this was a basic rule of life

But was it really? Or was it just a es in her upbringing, but they weren't as ained She had no wealth and no arsenal of relics to empower her However, she did have a mentality that was different from Sunny's

It wasn't iard need in favor of sos that a nor a blind girl simply because that hat Nephis wanted to do
