The answer comes right as Sunday inhales to voice that thought and he pauses when the knife appears. Alarm isn't exactly what he feels - it reminds him just slightly of others' weapons he's seen appear from hidden places. Like the blast of light he can call forth himself, but this is far more deadly at a first glance.
