Even though Morpheus didn't show it on his face, he felt a wave of warmth inside.
"I'm not that fragile." He smiled. "Are you full?"
Persephone burped, wiped her mouth, and grinned at him.
"The weather is nice today." Morpheus glanced outside. "How about we go out for a stroll?"
Persephone happily agreed, quickly tidied up, and went out with him.
Morpheus took her to several streets in Flinge. It was her first time observing the city during the daytime. She found

Boys and girls in ethnic attire were playing around in groups, looking exceptionally cheerful.
The shops on both sides were bustling, attracting tourists from all around the world. Everywhere was a scene of joy
and harmony.
Persephone mingled among the crowd, brimming with excitement.
Morpheus feared she might get lost and stayed close behind. He grabbed her hand just when she was about to hop

"Oh..."
Persephone obediently let him lead, her heart pounding hard.
"Actually, Flinge isn't too bad," she said, searching for something to say.
"Mm." Morpheus looked serious, his eyes fixed ahead without glancing at her.
"It's different from what I imagined. Everyone's life seems pretty calm."
"It's calm during the day," he murmured. "But everything changes at night."
Persephone bit her lip.

"To be honest..." Morpheus paused. "Even our outing today is under surveillance."
"What?"
"We have people from Kourtney and Fat Jim tailing us."
Persephone was startled and was about to turn around when Morpheus quickly grabbed her head and turned it
back.
"What's there to see?!" he snapped at her.
"Didn't you say... we're being followed?"
