Chae checks the time on her watch, showing that the plane will be landed in 5 minutes according to what Sofia told her previously before jumping into the battlefield.

"Five minutes le-" Before she finishes her report to Saku who is beside her, both of them suddenly hear that rapid gatling gun sound along with Heliodor's terrifying laughter.

Even though they are not standing on Elio and Sofia's shoes, they can feel the chill and how the tension is there which makes them worried as well.

"What the? Sofia, what is that? Are you guys okay?" Chae tries to reach out for them but there is no response.

Not only once but Chae keeps calling them out, using low volume in order not wanting Citrina knows their position, but still gets nothing back.

Somehow they got disconnected again and that is probably because something must be disturbing the connection.

"Are we disconnected again?" Saku asks with furrowed eyebrows.

"I think so..." Chae replies and her face shows how worried she is.

Noticing Chae's expression, Saku looks at their surroundings first, making sure that Citrina is nowhere to be found and they are at least safe enough.

He reaches his hand to gently squeeze Chae's shoulder in order to give her comfort and calm herself down.

"Hey, it's okay. Trust them. You know they are unstoppable when working together, right?" Saku says with his soft voice.

Remembering what they have done and been through together, all of it enough to calm Chae down a little bit as she finally nods her head in agreement.

Getting the reaction Saku looks for, he also launches a warm smile toward the person in front of him.

How he really wants to stare into those eyes much longer but he knows this is not the right time, probably that won't happen until the line disappears between them though.

Saku takes his hand away from Chae as now both of them focus to stay aware of any surprises.

They are slowly walking around the plane because they think staying hidden in one place is not the best option.

Even though the possibility of bumping into Citrina is fifty-fifty, it might be better than letting Citrina find them first, she is probably going to attack furiously especially when her plan is ruined.

Now their position is right in the middle of this plane where the rooms around them are just storages for some stuff.

"Saku!" Chae whispers but pitches her voice a little bit in order to make her voice reach Saku immediately.

Saku turns around in an instant and holds his gun to the front right away, only to find nothing but Chae who is surprised by his gun that is aiming toward her direction.

Not directly at her though, more like around her to check if there is anything around her.

Probably just too much awareness that is why Saku behaves like that.

"Oh, sorry." Saku says and puts down his gun before slowly approaching Chae.

"Look." Chae whispers to reply and points below them where there is a trace from blood drops that is heading into the room next to them.

Knowing what exactly it means, Saku gives her a signal to stay quiet as he slowly reaches the door's handle.

Based on his experience to check if the door opened, it might trigger something to explode from the other side, just like a classic trap.
