A little fall was not going to hurt a Saint, and it was especially not going to hurt Effie, whose Awakened Ability made her body as tough as steel. Granted, this particular fall was quite a lengthy one… but in the end, both of them reached the Mirror Maze unscathed, if a little worse for wear and covered in dust.
"Crap… I can't see anything. What a hassle."
Effie complained, but she did not summon a luminous Memory. That was because Sunny had drowned the Mirror Maze in shadows on purpose — this was his tried and trusted method of erasing the infinite reflections from its walls, thus avoiding encountering the Others.
"I suspect that the intended — and therefore the safest — way to explore the heart of this maze is to traverse it across reflections. But since neither of us knows how to deal with the Others, we will just walk like normal people."
He turned to Effie.
"Grab my hand."
He offered her his hand, but she did not take it. Sunny frowned.
