Summary
At the cave, it isn't Lewis, but Vivi who goes alone with Arthur, up to that damned cliff. When the demon wraps its poisonous threads around his heart, and reaches for the nearest victim, it's her who takes the fall.
A week later, Arthur goes missing as well, leaving behind only a chill and frost that the late-summer heat can't get rid of.
Missing his two best friends, and unable to even remember one, Lewis finds himself drifting - until Mystery demands he follow him somewhere, claiming it's something important.

Summary
All Arthur wants to do is pick himself up and bolt down the hallway behind him.
But he doesn't. He scrambles to his feet and stays put.
(Against all his instincts, Arthur tries to reason with the ghost menacing him, because he can feel something deeper underneath the anger. It has... interesting results.)

Summary
Lewis is tied to this world by the ones he loves, and that creates a connection. So when something's wrong with one of them, he can feel it.

Summary
Vivi's used to other people fussing at her when she does something dangerous. Heck, the whole rest of her team likes to do it! Even though they know she's perfectly capable of taking care of herself!
But she has to admit, when Shiromori does it, it's kind of cute.

Summary
Sharing a bed can get cramped, occasionally. But that doesn't mean it isn't also really nice, most of the time.
A collection of scenes from different nights where three tired ghost hunters crashed (or attempted to crash) in their shared bed, enjoying each other's company for as long as sleep evades them.

Summary
They find Lewis's body only a couple days after the accident at the cave. Stabbed through the heart, apparently, and then left to rot because Vivi was too preoccupied with getting her still-living teammate to safety.
And then everyone else starts to move on. But Arthur isn't so quick to give up - he knows the sorts of desperate means people use to bring their loved ones back from the grave, and damnit, if anyone deserves it, it's Lewis.

Summary
Hero-ing is dangerous business, and there's a reason most heroes keep their identity secret. But that doesn't make it any easier on Vivi and Lewis, and they're reaching a breaking point with how much they're willing to keep from Arthur.
On the other side of things, Arthur doesn't have much of a choice.

Summary
Lewis and Vivi are so happy together, especially now that they've started dating, and Arthur is happy for them, of course he is. But that doesn't make it any easier to watch them, all sappy and full of love for each other, and not feel left out. So he just leaves them alone, when it gets to be too much. What would they want a third wheel around for, anyway?
The other two aren't about to let him feel that way for very long. Even if he doesn't openly admit anything, he's never been good at hiding from them.

Summary
The Mystery Skulls Paranormal Investigators pick up a case in a beautiful, haunting (and potentially haunted, of course!) emerald cave. They were initially planning to split up, to cover more ground at the same time, but for some reason their mascot refuses to let them. So the investigation continues with everyone together.
Mystery is, ultimately, a failure, but at least he prevents one death tonight.

Summary
It's been some time after they were all reunited, and the small team of ghost-hunters have finally started to pick up cases again.
It's not until Arthur's endangered on one of those cases, though, that Lewis suddenly and truly remembers just how he used to feel about this job. And about his friend. And... maybe he panics, a little, seeing him hurt.
