    Summary

    The end of the precarious journey to Amphoreus fast approaches, but one last temptation presents itself in the form of a familiar knock on the door. It is of no consequence. He will pass the final test.
    The man shares with him a secret. Something you gave me, he says.
    How arrogant of him to accept the man's thanks. But he knows that sincere smile is no lie, and he would willingly give up as much of himself as it would take to keep it so.

    He allows that man back into his own room, and the door closes behind him. Perhaps now, he is prepared to accept where he is going.

    Summary

    Sunday had internalized the lessons of his childhood. Eternalized, really, made them the basis of the rest of his forever, replaying those failures until they were seared so deep in his psyche that he'd recount them over, and over, and over again. Ena forbid he make the same mistake twice.
    Welt Yang was a mistake he hadn't yet made.

    Sunday gains a new father figure. Or crush. Both is good.
