Chapter 60: Stained Ice (Rewritten)
"Bandages and metal plates at the market, rubbing alcohol at the orphanage, and painkillers at the lab..."
Sunny skimmed through the list of items that Natasha had wanted him — alongside Bronya and Seele — to procure. He read the list aloud with a knowledgeable tone, seemingly having no questions about their task.
"I have no idea where these places are."
He handed the paper over to Seele, who sighed in exasperation as she stuffed it in her jean shorts.
"You know, I used to live there. Just follow me, and everything should be fine."
Sunny yawned into his hand, tiredly blinking.
"If only..."
He was quite unconvinced. Not only were they heading into the Fragmentum, but with his luck, only the most ridiculous of scenarios were going to occur.
Also, Seele jinxed it. There was now practically no chance of a peaceful errand as they strolled through Rivet Town.
’I guess I just have to keep my guard up...’
Thinking for a moment, Sunny started to circulate Shadow Essence. The rush of energy through his body was euphoric, and kept him awake despite the lethargic feeling that was consuming him. He didn’t want to suddenly go to sleep — he wouldn’t be able to wake up for a few hours no matter what happened in the real world, so it was extremely important to make sure he didn’t pass out.
