Back at Houston while Sonia and Sora keep on walking to Kobadera’s family it looked like Sonia was to open up to Sora even more.
She started to talk about the anime she’s been watching like Unbounded, something Piece, The Overpowered Magic User is Alive and even more.
To be honest, it was almost like a foreign language for Sora. As she gets to that anime and mentions pirates Sora says, “hey, by any chance what have you been doing in Taekwondo? Cause I’m curious.”
Hoping that comment would change the topic Sonia responds with, “we do reflex training to try to respond to movements quickly.”
Almost pleased by that comment Sora continues the conversation with a few more talks about different fighting styles and then Sonia asks him, “So, what have you been doing ever since you left everyone?”
With a relieved expression Sora stares at the sky and says, “I’ve been studying and honing my skills in both combat and intellect, after all, that''s the goal that I would love to achieve, in order to protect everyone.”
Sonia looked at the ground and looked up with a smile telling Sora that they should hurry before her dad comes back.
Sooner or later they were able to arrive at the front door steps of Kobadera’s family and once they arrived neither of them wanted to knock on the door, all they could do was whisper to each other, “Knock on it.”, “No you.”, and “ladies first.”
Eventually Sora told her that they should do rock-papers-scissors to decide. And reluctantly Sonia said, “it’s on…” First came rock, then paper, after that scissors, and the word shoot.
Both of them launched their hands out and Sora won or so he thought from the expression that Sonia had on her face, she won with paper and Sora lost with rock. As soon as that happened Sonia looked at Sora and said, “Go on ahead…”
Sora continued to go up to the door and start knocking. At first there was silence but after a few seconds Sora and Sonia heard a vague voice within the house basically sounding childlike. The voice said, “Mommy, there are people at the door” and as the voice echoed through the house Sora looked back at Sonia and shrugged.
Soon after the door started to have some crackling noises and sounds of locks opening, and just before the door opened there was a voice of a woman that went through the door exclaiming “Who are you kids?” As Sora heard that voice he responded with, “we were sent over by Jade to check on Kobadera’s family… My name is Sora Sanano and her name is Sonia Pegasi.”

As soon as those names were voiced by Sora the door finally opened up to reveal a woman with a motherly figure with long crimson hair over her shoulder braided properly.
Along with that as Sora looked closer and there was a small girl behind her looking no older than 10 years old. Once the door was finally completely opened up the woman said, “So you''re that Sora, the one Sukehito doesn’t stop mentioning…”
As she says that Sora has a pale face and thinks to himself, “Don’t tell me he talks about me that much…” As he says that within the corners of his mind he starts to tell her that, “yes I am” and she then looks behind me and sees Sonia and says, “You must be Jade’s girl, nice to meet you.”
As she says that Sonia looks down and tries to make an effort to form words out of her mouth, “Yes, nice to meet you too…” Once she wraps up with those few words Sora looks at Sonia and says, “There’s no need to hide your face.” Sonia begins to look up at Sora; she sees a subtle and calm smile with soft eyes staring at her and she regains her confidence and looks up at the mother.
As she does that Sora realizes that the main reason why she had difficulty seeing the mother was because she reminded her of her own, and the fact that she was able to look straight at her showed Sora how strong she is even though he doesn’t know the true reason behind her gaining so much confidence was because of him.
As soon as they wrapped up introductions, the mother tells them to come in, to their surprise, the buildings interior is highly polished with square tiled floors, a white paint around the walls with decorations that match the tone of the houses color matching the colors between black and white, a they enter the house they are told to take a seat in the living room near the entrance and she takes her own personal seat.
The woman looks at Sora and Sonia and tells them her name is “Shara Kobadera” and she then calls over her daughter and since she seems pretty young it makes sense that she is rather nervous. She looks at us and says that her name is Aria Kobadera in a very subtle way.
As she told Sora and Sonia her name, both of them stared at each other and smiled… They looked back at Aria and Sora asked her, “what do you want to become in the future Aria?” Aria responded to them by saying that she wants to help her family…
While it may have been a simple response it resonated with Sora and Sonia because even if they weren’t able to protect their family. They realized they had a family in front of them. One not dysfunctional or ruined by circumstance… Soon after Aria responded to Sora’s question Sonia spoke up and said, “So what’s your age?” She then responded with a 10 years old on the mark. Sonia looked happy by the naivety of the girl and they both stopped questioning the girl and looked at Shara.
As Shara noticed that the questions have stopped rolling in she started to ask a few questions of her own like, “What are you doing here?” And “Is there anything you want to eat or drink?”
Sora followed up those questions by first saying that they are fine and they don''t need food and they visited because Jade wanted them to visit to just check up on you guys while he took something over to Kobadera’s bar.
