Speak of the devil and they shall appear, an orange haired man with a colorful bath robe walks up to the same restaurant that Makoto was eating in blissfully unaware, taking a seat at the table next to him and ordering the same thing, happily smiling and ignorant. Man! If only Makoto and Alain were here with me!

That voice... those names... that terrible fashion sense! The youth would turn around with a wild look in his eyes. "Is that... Takeru!?" The man is equal parts surprised and elated.

? Hearing his name, Takeru turns around to see his good friend Makoto! Getting a big smile on his face, Takeru nearly jumps out of his seat ecstatic Makoto! There you are! How have you been!? It's so good to see you again! What are you doing here?

Makoto DID end up jumping out of his seat. He practically leaps to the ground before Takeru. "I'll be quite frank. I've been better..." His expression darkens a little. "Say... Do you still have your Eyecons? You can likely assume where this line of questioning is going. Some young man died too soon, so I did what I could and... well.. He's trapped like Kanon was... I'd... I'd like to give him a second chance at life."

Better? That doesn't sound good! Hearing the explanation Takeru darkens as well, however when Makoto brings up eyecons Takeru realises there is still hope and starts digging through his clothes, finding just enough eyecons on himself including his base damashi eyecon, however he puts that one away and places them on the table in front of him Of course I do! I left a couple with Okarin and Akari for safe keeping though! This should almost be enough! I would give you my base eyecon but.. From what I've seen this place isn't exactly the safest! I'm sure you'll find one though! Our lives are burning bright after all!

Makoto smiles with a calm understanding. "You truly never change do you? Thank you... With you here to help out.. I feel... peaceful? It probably sounds a bit odd." He pockets the round containers. "I'll try and get these back to you as soon as I can, Takeru. I'll hopefully see you around!" Makoto scarfs down his takoyaki, and quickly runs in the direction of... somewhere.

Of course not! You are my friend right? Friends help each other! It's not odd at all! I'm happy to help! Takeru then smiles again before patting Makoto on the back and taking his order of takoyaki Take your time! I'm not dying anytime soon! See ya soon Makoto! Takeru then waves his good friend off before turning to his bit of food, ready to dig in, however, right when he's about to take a bite info it he freezes, hearing multiple voices in his head echoing the same thing as he runs out of the store Ghosts can't have dinner.
