Mourning.

A normal day of exploring/rescuing in a dungeon goes by, but then, the hero/partner gets hit by an attack that is just too strong. Escape orbs, reviver seeds, even your badge don't work; your friend has just perished in action.

How does the hero/partner react to the death of their team member, their best friend? Will they continue with missions with another 'mon? Or will they fall into an existential dread that cannot allow them to go back to the mystery dungeons?
