Saint remained silent and as aloof as ever, causing his heart to ache.

Cursing under his breath, Sunny looked away and summoned the runes. The shimmering symbols appeared in the air in front of him:

His shadow fragments were already closing in on three thousand. That was not the important part, though.

Sunny studied the list of his Memories with a pained expression, then looked down and concentrated on Saint's name.
