"Let me guess. You want to kill it…"
Nephis continued to stare at him with her usual unreadable expression. After a while, Sunny chuckled and shook his head in disbelief.
"You really are crazy. That's… that's an awakened demon we're talking about, remember? Have you forgotten that we're just Sleepers?"
Then he frowned and scratched his head.
"W—wait a second. I feel like we already had this conversation before. Doesn't it feel familiar?"
Cassie glanced at the two of them and politely cleared her throat.
"Actually, you had said pretty much the exact same thing right before we decided to attack that first carapace centurion."
Sunny beamed.
"Yes! Exactly! And how did that end up? I almost got killed!"
Nephis shrugged indifferently.
"You survived, didn't you?"
He froze with his mouth open, too flabbergasted by the sheer audacity of her remark to answer immediately. A few seconds later, Sunny was finally able to speak again.

Cassie gently touched her friend on the shoulder and whispered.
"Neph! That's not a very nice thing to say."
