I'm starting to think that the original duo are no longer the protagonists. Or rather, it's difficult to pinpoint who are the protagonists. However, the original duo keep making cameos. I'm pretty sure that dog is Eiya's, because 10.1 had a page early in with Eiya walking that dog. I also have a wonder about that mysterious sunglasses guy that keeps popping up. He seems close to the SCM imo.
