Jocelyn awoke the following morning, feeling the same stirring her brother had experienced. She rose from her slumber, adorned herself in attire, and embarked on a journey to the medical sanctuary, where her brother lay. Upon arrival, Jocelyn disclosed her identity to the nurse and expressed her purpose of visiting Josh. The nurse led Jocelyn to Josh's chamber, instructing her to remain there. "Excuse me, Josh, you have a guest," the nurse informed him. "Send them in," Josh replied. The nurse exited the room, permitting Jocelyn to enter. As Jocelyn stepped into the space, she beheld Josh, seated upon the bed. "Jocelyn," Josh uttered, his voice brimming with joy. Overwhelmed with relief, Jocelyn embraced her brother tightly. "Oh, Jocelyn, my exquisite sister," Josh exclaimed. "Oh, brother, I feared I would never lay eyes on you again," Jocelyn confessed. "Well, I am alive, and that is all that truly matters," Josh reassured her. A smile graced Jocelyn's countenance as the nurse arrived, bearing garments for Josh. Josh tenderly kissed Jocelyn on her temple, whispering, "I must attire myself. Kindly step outside, and then we shall depart." Jocelyn nodded, exiting her brother's chamber. Once Josh had adorned himself, he cautiously peered around the corner, spotting Jocelyn. "Are you prepared?" Josh inquired. Jocelyn nodded in affirmation. "Then let us embark," Josh declared, as he and Jocelyn departed from the hospital. Upon their return home, Josh immersed himself in melodious tunes, while Jocelyn succumbed to slumber. Josh ceased the music, enveloping Jocelyn in his embrace. Observing her tear-stained visage, he gently addressed her, "Joc, my dear Joc. Why do tears grace your closed eyes?" Jocelyn turned her head, her eyes still shut, towards her beloved brother. Josh inquires about Jocelyn's bellyache, sensing something amiss. Jocelyn affirms silently, her nod conveying the discomfort she feels. In a tender gesture, Josh removes his headphones and gently places them upon Jocelyn's ears. As the harmonious melody of Arms fills the air, Josh's voice intertwines with the music, serenading Jocelyn with heartfelt lyrics. Gradually, the soothing embrace of slumber envelops them both, their dreams intermingling in a peaceful symphony.
