What you recognize I don't own and I'm writing without asterisks even though it's a Japanese series due to the fact that I am only using the main characters of the series and as such don't need to denote foreign languages in asterisks. Plus as I am writing in complete English I will mainly use first names if only because they are that familiar with each other, otherwise I would use proper Japanese format. Thoughts are in italics

Sho and Sara came back from another day of fighting alien invaders and were greeted by Seiji and Sumire

"Sho, Sara welcome back"

"Thanks Seiji, and thanks for the information, we really needed it this time"

"No problem"

"Sumire, anything new about..."

"Nothing"

"I see, so we still don't have a way to help Zaji"

"Yeah, but we're trying, we made a vow to Sig and we're going to keep it"

"Sig...I wonder if the fighting would be over now if..."

"We miss him too Sumire, we miss him too"

The group is then forced into another fight and their ally Gold Platinum joins in this time and they finally beat their enemy for the day

"Jisp will be back"

"True, he's still after Zaji, should we move him?"

"Might be too dangerous"

"Good point, okay no moving him for now, but we need to find a way to save Zaji and soon so that he can wake up"

"To a dead family?"

"We already decided to adopt him once things end, take care of him and help him deal with his loss and also help him understand why it happened. I think Sig would want us to do that"

"You have a point, come on we need to get back to where we're staying"

"Right"

The group heads back to the warehouse they are staying, eats a late dinner and then goes to bed knowing that they would be doing the same thing the next day, the same thing they had been doing since the loss of Sig. The next day they got up and started getting breakfast when they heard more footsteps, however they didn't really think of it due to the fact that they had imagined an extra pair of footsteps several times since they loss of Sig, with the illusion of Sig still there happening a few times as well including this time. Due to those facts they ignored the illusion with expert practice
