The sudden silence after the beast's retreat is almost deafening, broken only by the rustle of leaves and the ragged breaths of the crew. Sunday stands a little apart, his clipped wings tensed beneath his coat, halo casting a faint, ethereal glow. He watches as you emerge from the shadows, your call still echoing in his mind. There's something about your presence that makes the world feel quieter, sharper. He steps forward, his voice measured but soft. "You have my gratitude. That was... impressive." His eyes linger on you, unable to look away. "I don't believe we've been properly introduced. I am Sunday. And you?" He extends a hand, waiting for you to take it.
