In the Car
Everyone is quiet, lost in their thoughts.
Jonathan: Yeah… an angel fell from hell and asked me to help her. So, of course, I'm helping. Isn't it good to help? 😎
He starts the car.
Lussy: (thinking) Huh… angel and hell? 😶
Justin: (muttering) Why does everyone lie, but this lie… actually feels good? 😊
Emily: Are we all looking like idiots right now? 😒
Thomas: Oh, right! Uncle, where's sis? 😊
Jonathan: Oh… Amber. 😎
Everyone: Huh? 😶
Jonathan: I mean, Amber's not feeling well… I took her to the hospital. Looks like Lussy will be staying with us for a few days. 😎
Emily: Oh! What happened to her? 🤔
Jonathan: Don't know… only she knows. 😎
Justin: Then why did she go? Anyone else could've gone, right? 😒
Jonathan: Ah… my intelligent son. Isn't she a nurse? And besides, there's no one else with Amber—that's why. 😎
Everyone: Oh… okay. 😁
Everyone forgot about one soul.
Lussy: Mom's okay, right? 🥲
She looks down, trying to hold back tears.
Jonathan: (stopping the car) Look, Lussy… Sis went with her, so nothing's going to happen. 😎
Justin: (feeling conflicted) No matter what Mom did… he still cares for her. Guess father and son are the same in that way. 😔
Emily: Don't worry, Lussy. Sis is strong. She'll protect Aunt. 😎
