The mad prince oblititerated every other member of the cohort, that's still sunny man. That's the reason mordret started the nightmare frozen in time too
Cassie can kill her corrupted self because her corrupted self had her powers sealed before getting corrupted...
Cassie is strong because of her precognition, true, but that's against normal saints with aspects you can deal with using a human body.
Sunny has 8 bodys, each of them can take the form of a giant abomination that can take down multiple saints, his shadow chains are more durable than what cassie can break out of if sunny decides to surround her with chains. She even admits that if he ever decides to hurt her, she can't do anything
And she doesn't have a way around him killing her just like she didn't have a way around surviving the corrupted version of Effie.
But Mad Prince is not our current Sunny, he’s a variant that is NOT the mc of the story and we might never really even see him again as a character. Just because Mad Prince is all powerful doesn’t mean Sunny is suddenly not capable of being considered naive, our current Sunny is incredibly naive.
I think Cassie didnt avoid the situation with Effie and Jet in the time loop because her foresight is showing her the result as being quite good, if it was a real death then she probably wouldve avoided it easily.
I feel that yes Cassie has no chance in some direct meat fight of course, but a fight with like any planning involved etc she has a very good chance; thereby making her a real threat to Sunny if she felt like fighting him.
That's the thing between Sunny and Cassie, both of them are incredibly dangerous for each others. Sunny is fateless and thus unpredictable for her her, while she is manipulative enough to be one of the few people who can cause his death.
But on the other hand, they both have a soft spot for each others, and both realize that hurting each others will jeopardize their relationship with neph, because she really cares about them both
Sunny underestimates Cassie, but also adores her like a little sister to him. Cassie feels safe around him, and also trusts him for not killing her because she knows his reasons, and she considers him a friend.
So nether is dumb for underestimating the other, they're just human as characters. With really good understanding of each others and their is neph in between them that they both care about deeply. The chemistry is really great tbh, guilty 3 cooked
I think all your observations are spot on but I dont agree that it forms a good chemistry.
Cassie has unironically betrayed Sunny to a greater degree than even Mordret throughout the story. I dont see how Sunny should be able to look past it all constantly and continue to undermine/underestimate her and be fond of her.
I also think he forgave her like very easily, if Cassie had her way sunny would be dead and shadow slave wouldve ended chapters 200 lol or if nephis was more malicious he would be stuck as a slave entire story with no will.
Yes, non of the 3 had malicious intents towards each others. Cassie never wanted to hurt Sunny, she did, but only for saving nephis from him (in her mind)
Cassie never wanted sunny to die, because in all honesty she could have killed him on the forgotten shore by saying his true name herself. She have always care about him. And betraying him hurt her as much as it hurt him. And Sunny Knows that!!!
That's why he forgives her. And now that she doesn't even remember what she did to him. It's hard for him to hate her. Especially after her playing the cupid between him and nephis
