As soon as the strange crow appeared, Sunny was ready to kill it. Summoning the Moonlight Shard would have only taken a split second, and a swift strike of his armored fist was going to do the job just as well.
If it was an ordinary bird, of course. Which he seriously doubted.
He did not expect the crow to speak, though.
"Sah-nee! Sah-nee!"
'...Is it calling my name?'
Sunny temporary postponed his plans of killing the crow and stared at it for a bit. The crow tilted its head and stared back.
"Sah-nee!"
He blinked, then shifted his vision and looked into the bird's soul. Sunny expected to see an orb of repulsive darkness, but what he saw instead were two radiant cores. The crow was an Awakened Monster... however, it was not a Nightmare Creature.
'Is it an Echo, or am I losing my mind? Again?'
He hesitated for a little while, then said cautiously:
"Yes, I am Sunny."
The bird jumped closer with a satisfied look, shook its entire body to get rid of flakes of ash clinging to the black feathers, and then cawed again.
"Jet! Jet!"
A spark of hope ignited in Sunny's heart. He studied the crow some more, then leaned closer and whispered:
"Did Master Jet send you?"
The small monster bobbed its head up and down several times.
"Jet! Send!"
Sunny closed his eyes for a moment, inhaling deeply.
'So she did not forget about me after all, huh...
The crow appeared to be Soul Reaper's Echo, which she had sent to find Sunny. It felt... nice... to be remembered. However, he was not sure how the black bird was supposed to help him, if that was Jet's intention at all.
