章 1848: Reign of Steel

Sunny sensed it before he saw it. 

An invisible, but undeniable change that spread across the battlefield.

Observing the inexplicable change through shadow sense, Sunny couldn't help but feel a deep sense of confusion. There was no reason for the sudden shift in the cadence of the battle, but it had shifted, without a doubt. 

Lacking any other explanation, he was tempted to think that it was a result of luck.
