    And another change in perspective, this time, showing the results of the night prior and the subsequent awakening from both sides.

    I must say, at first, I thought that Sunshine was gonna be embarrassed a little, maybe even feeling uncomfortable for close they were at that time at most. But how actually she was feeling... I dunno, embarrassed but in the good way, was actually surprising to see, a pretty big change in her usual way of behaving.

    Gustave really did something meaningful for her at the end, if according to her own thoughts, she was feeling worse and worse with each nightmare she had from the past few nights, about either crashing into a battle zone, getting executed by ADVENT members, or similar stuff. Yet in this particular nightmare, everything wasn't as bad as always, yet, the little song Gus was singing to her, to at least try to calm her down when one of her nightmares was in it's highest point, did wonders for Sunny, not only complete dispelling the horrible dream she was having, but actually make her sleep much, much better in comparison of other days.

    The waking up slowly and comfortably from the Viper's side? That was very noticeable, and the fact that the touch of Gustave was able to calm her down, even at the peak of that nightmare, is was a pretty wholesome sight to be honest.

    Also, the little son he was signing... I wonder if Sunny will like to hear it again in the future, as I see it, is a pretty powerful song overall, but for Sunshine? maybe it can becomes something much more important for her. Not just from the perspective of Gustave, or both of them, but for her and what that song represents, the care and affection Gustave was redirecting towards her and how she isn't alone anymore, not as long as Gus is in her life, keeping her company and taking care of her with meaningful stuff.

    Oh and it seems she likes hor chocolate. I wonder if this can evolve into the much better version of hot chocolate, either with some cookies to accompany the liquid, or just straight up marshmallows.
    I wonder how Sunny would react if she had that variation of Hot Chocolate.

    But back to the topic at hand.
    I wonder why she felt like that after what happened with Gus the night before, they didn't do anything remotely bad or something uncomfortable, far from it actually, but it is very intriguing how the very first thing she thought about that situation, is that Gustave was gonna react poorly, probably even getting mad at her? Doesn't make much sense tho, since by this time, both of them already shares a house and mutual trust for each other.

    I wonder if it was just the embarrassment of doing that unknowingly is what drove Sunny to end up with that answer to her questions, but still it was a very sweet and kinda funny scene, for how over the top the reaction of Sunshine was.
    And look at that, it seems Gustave is on a scavenge run this particular day, and with the company of Sunshine too.

    That's great, because she can prove to be a valuable ally and friend, specially considering that maybe there are some thinks lurking in the dark, just like she was, that can pounce over Gust and end him in the spot.
    He gut lucky at his encounter with Sunshine, but the next time? I would say is highly unlikely he will manage to come out on top.

    But, let's see what this new expedition has to offer.

    Hopefully, nothing too extreme or problematic for the pair.
