Joshua smiled. "Don't worry, I'm only going to Saigen City with you two. Once we're there. I’ll be busy with my work while you both go sightseeing. No interference."
Luna furrowed her brow and looked at Joshua, who was hugging her. "What are you busy doing there?"
Joshua reached out and gently ruffled her head. "I have a business deal with Thomas."
Luna was stunned before she recalled that at the studio when Thomas called her, he seemed to have vaguely mentioned his business deal with Joshua.

He reached his hand out and caressed Luna's head. "You initially thought of going on a trip with Gwen. You could do these two things together, and I..."
Joshua paused for a while before slowly saying, "I want to go to Saigen City to pay respects to my mother."
Luna was stunned for a while before remembering that Joshua's mother, Rianna, was buried in Thomas' hometown,
