Reg spoke next, his tone careful and affectionate. "We... we don't do it every night. We just sometimes change into our Spiritual Body forms to be with you. It's only because we miss you so much. We want to be with you every second of every day."
'Sometimes? Reg, do you even believe yourself when you say that?' Su Yaoyao was skeptical.
