It was a bit funny — the badge was such a small thing, but Sunny felt almost naked without it.
Suspended and tossed out of the police force, he and Effie found themselves standing in front of the Mirage PD headquarters, staring at the falling rain with somber expressions. It had taken a lot of time for them to be treated, interrogated, and then berated by the Captain, so the sun was already setting. Both were in a subdued mood.
Eventually, Sunny sighed.
"Feels strange. I've never been fired before, you know?"
Effie scratched the back of her head.
"Me neither."
Sunny contemplated something for a moment.
"Actually, I've never really been employed before either."
Effie tilted her head a little.
"Me neither. Wait, does working for the government count?"
He considered her question seriously, then shook his head.
"No. You joined the government as a Saint — that's like being a boss, not an employee."
Effie nodded with a chuckle.
