Feynman diagram with spectator quarks (TikZ-Feynman)

I'm trying to draw the Feynman diagram for the following disintegration: Sigma+ -> Lambda0 mu+ mu neutrino



Showing all the quarks, including the two that don't participate, in the same way as this image:



reference disintegration



So far I've managed to get close by using invisible edges to keep lines together, but they are too far away. I've tried using nudge, but as it brings some lines together it also pulls others appart. Also, the W+ boson and its decay products should go in the time direction.



My attempt



MWE (compile with LuaLaTex):



documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}
usepackage{tikz-feynman}
begin{document}
def op{0.2} %Opacity of auxiliary lines
feynmandiagram{
%Diagram
i1 [particle=u]-- [fermion] a -- [fermion] f1 [particle=d],
i2 [particle=u]-- [fermion] b -- [fermion] f2 [particle=u],
i3 [particle=s]-- [fermion] c -- [fermion] f3 [particle=s],
a -- [boson, edge label=(W^+)] d,
d -- [fermion] g1 [particle =(mu^+)],
d -- [fermion] g2 [particle =(nu_mu)],
%Supporting lines
