[ID: Soma, Mina & Arikado at a yakiniku restaurant. Arikado and Soma have taken off their jackets. Arikado's barbecuing the meat as he listens to Mina & Soma talk. Mina's hands are steepled. Soma's arms rest on the table, a glass of fruit juice (with curly straw) in hand. In the window are several poster ads for the menu. Beyond the window glare is the hazy reflection of the Țepeș family at the dining table. Lisa & Dracula gesture as they talk; Dracula has a wine glass in hand. In the past, a young Adrian turns to listen. In the present, Arikado listens, expression soft.]
I like to think that post Dawn of Sorrow the Sorrow gang still end up in a bunch of miscellaneous supernatural hijinks. Eventually Soma and Mina invite Arikado to outings after he stops being quite so aloof and it becomes a regular event.
