  Summary

  Some people are meant to be the supportive cast, even the background cast. Background was comfy, spotlight was scorching and blinding.
  Just like the sun as they climbed the crane they were building for Frye (for the world’s biggest crane game). What was their business at the top of the world as they made it, going against all they learnt ?

  In which Mecha learns to be brave, all thanks to their bonds with Deep Cut.
