After a while, shrouded in darkness, Elyas suddenly spoke, addressing Sunny in his usual one-sided manner.
In the past weeks, the young Awakened had developed a habit of sometimes speaking to his demonic partner, even though the frightening creature could not respond with anything more than an occasional nod, a shake of the head, or an indifferent shrug. Talking to Shadow was not much of a conversation, but...
Perhaps this was one of the few things that were keeping him sane.
…Sunny could understand why the youth had to do that, since his own inability to talk was one of the things that were driving him mad, that was robbing him of even more of his humanity.
"Hey, demon. Do you… do you think it's true? About the wooden sword…"
Sunny stared at the young man, then shrugged. He had no opinion on that topic, since he didn't know what the wooden sword was.
Elyas sighed.
