Even amid endless battles, they found time to enjoy each other's company through quiet, ordinary moments such as sharing meals, watching the sunrise together, talking about meaningless things, sharing stories, cutting each other's hair, arguing over nonsensical opinions, reading over each other's shoulders, and simply witnessing one another in their most natural moments. Sunny often found himself watching Nephis as she read reports or meditated between battles, feeling that he could not be happier. Fighting alongside her also gave his battles meaning, since he was no longer fighting merely to survive, but so that others could survive. |

- When Nephis returned, he had the impression that something precious, something vital that he had lost had been suddenly returned to him.[2]
- He forced himself to look away when he saw how stunning Nephis in a vibrant red dress. This was the first time he saw her in a dress.[3]
- He asked Nephis to dance in the Valor Clan ball. When they did, his heart skipped a beat, and that he missed having two. It was also his first time dancing but he looked adept that both of them caught a lot of admiring stares.[4]
- In Chapter 835, it was mentioned that there was already someone who was aggravatingly adept at tugging on his heartstrings. His heart was all but overcrowded so the beautiful singing of the Sirens didn't affect him much.
- When he saw Nephis in house Valor colors his heart moved slightly.[5]
- In Chapter 1430, he asked Nephis to cook up something tasty for him.

Despite all the trials and separations, their bond endured, and he realized that while he saw himself as her anchor to humanity, she might also be his.[8]
