Shadow Slave

They were walking past a painfully familiar building when the realization that the complicated dance of negotiating with the great clan had already begun hit him.

As his face grew a little dim, Sunny lingered for a moment and then gestured at the building:

"This is the hospital complex of the Academy. It is one of the best medical institutions humanity has to offer, combining state-of-the-art tech with ingenious spelltech, as well as employing many Awakened with actual healing Aspects. This is also where Sleepers enter the sleeping pods to venture into the Dream Realm. I myself spent about a year in one of them."

He paused, and then added:

"This is where many of the Hollow are kept, as well."

Morgan looked at the alloy walls of the complex. A few moments later, she suddenly asked:

"This is also where Changing Star of the Immortal Flame clan is currently being kept, isn't it?"

Did Sunny imagine it, or was her voice suddenly a bit more cutting?

He frowned.

"She is not Hollow. But yes. Oh, by the way… can we cut the crap?"

Morgon looked at him with a cold smile.

"...What do you mean?"

Sunny met her intimidating gaze without flinching. If he wanted, his dark eyes could be as cold and oppressive as hers.

In fact, the complete absence of fear or apprehension in their black depths was perhaps more frightening.

"I doubt that you are really interested in sightseeing. Let's not waste time."
