The group leaves out of Ronin's home and they all sighs at the same time. Lily sighs and says, "I'm glad Dib isn't in serious harm..." in a soft tone.

"Yeah... I'm glad too, Lily," Min-Jung agreed as she looks at Zim, who is bitting his own thump, narrowing his eyes and his antennas twitching like crazy, "Yo... you okay, Zim?"

Zim's antennas suddenly stops and went straight as he stops biting his thump and regains his focus as he looks at Min-Jung, who is gazing at him with a cocked head tilt and her eyebrow raise.

He takes a deep breath and puts his hand on his forehead as he looks at Min-Jung.

"Sorry... I... I guess I was just thinking about what just happened to Dib..." Zim admitted to her.

"You worry about him too, huh?" Min-Jung asked.

Zim's lips goes downturned and squints his eyes in disgust as he shifts his eyes away from her and crosses his arms.

"Hell no!" Zim denied profusely, "I'm just thinking of how out of nowhere that happened, that's all."

"... That... that isn't the first time..." Lily confessed as she puts her head down and avoiding eye contact.

"... What...?" The whole group asked at the exact same time with their eyes bug out.

Harumi puts her hands on her mouth, Leo shakes his head, crosses his arms and gazes at her. Zim's antenna went up, and Min-Jung grits her teeth and shouts, "When?! How many times?!"

"... I only witness once," Lily explained, "Dib was just visiting me a week ago when, all of the sudden, he collapse for no reason and laying there... while crying and struggling to breath. I, naturally, screamed for help when Tori come in and took him to Valarie."

"Is it a panic attack?" Leo asked. "No doubt it has to do with the Kasai war."

"That's... what I thought... as well," Lily admitted. "But... the more I think about... the more I think he looks like he's being strangled by something..."

"... Ha... a hallucination...?" Min-Jung asked.

"Most likely," Lily agreed.

"... I... even though I hate his guts..." Zim admitted as he looks away and then, puts his head down, "I can't help but pity him..."

"Same, man," Leo agreed, "Even worse if those hallucinations feel like they actively killing you."

"Yeah... I wonder what his hallucinations are...?" Min-Jung asked.

"If I have to take a wild guess," Zim said, "I would say... Gaz..."

"Huh? His little sister?" Min-Jung asked. "What about the Kasai war?"

"Yes, that too," Zim replied, "But I know Dib more then any of you earthworms that I have no doubt in my mind that those are caused by Gaz,"

"... You... you had a valued point..." Lily agreed, "That seems to be a rather logical conclusion, which I'm surprised that you, of all people, made."

"Oi! What's the supposed to mean!?" Zim yelled at her as he bares his teeth.

Lily and Zim starts arguing among each other, much to the others' distaste while Gir pouts and raises his eyebrow, but then a light bulb appears on his head as he fist-palm his hand and smiles widely as his eyes sparkles.

"Oh yeah! How about we give him a get well card!?" Gir suggested, catching everyone off-guard.

"Yea! Good idea, Gir!" Min-Jung agreed, "And buy his favourite food too!"

"Can we buy tacos along the way?" Gir asked playfully.

"Hehe, sure!" Min-Jung giggled.

"Yay!" Gir cheered as Zim forced his disguise on him. "H-Hey!"

"Hey, I don't want you to run around like a idiot without an disguise," Zim told him off, "You'll get us into massive trouble!"

"Okay, fine!" Gir pouted.

Harumi looks at Zim and opens her mouth until the group hears ringing. They all look at Leo, who puts his arm to his ear and asks, "Ahem... yes Tori?"

"We have a emergency meeting, so get everyone's asses here," Tori called, "That's an order!"

"Y-Yes, Tori!" Leo replied before Tori calls off. "Well... sorry guys, but we should get back to HQ. Tori said it's an emergency."

"Gah! That stupid Tori-earthworm!" Zim complained, "Fine... sorry Gir, but that will have to wait."

"Aww..." Gir groaned. "Okay..."

"W-Wait! I have something important to say, Zim!" Harumi said.

"That has to wait," Zim replied, "You can say it once we're in the meeting, okay?"

"... Mmm..." Harumi groaned.

"Okay, let's move," Zim ordered everyone.

"Since when did we make you leader?" Min-Jung jokingly asked.

"Since ever, because I'm superior!" Zim proudly proclaimed.

"I see you're still arrogant as ever, Zim." Leo muttered.

"Watch your mouth!" Zim shouted at him, "Let's just go!"

The whole group except Gir sighs and follows him out.

(Meanwhile)

Tori puts down her phone and lays down on her desk with half-lidded eyes, where a mysterious woman comes behind him.
"... Ahem... excuse me, Tori?"

"Mmm... what is it, Rosa? Tori asked lazily.

Rosa is a pink-haired woman with pale skin and blue eyes. She wears a white, sleeveless blouse with a loose ribbon, a bold pink long-skirt that is around her waist and above the knees, bold-pink sleeves that isn't attached to her blouse, white boots, two pink hair clips on the right side of her bangs and finally, a pink ribbon that tied her very long hair in a loose ponytail.

"I... who was you talking to?" Rosa asked her with raised brows and blinking her eyes.

"You'll see soon enough, Rosa," Tori replied vaguely as Rosa stares at her with rapid blinking and tilting her head.
