[Throughout the day, the family members pop in and out of Isabella's room, each one bringing a different form of comfort and distraction.  Bruno tells stories and jokes, eliciting laughter from Isabella despite her pain.  Camello puts on funny, little one-man shows with his shapeshifting abilities, entertaining Isabella with his antics.  Doloris shares some especially juicy gossip, keeping Isabella entertained and distracted from her discomfort, sometimes providing updates in real time.  However, Meribel is the one who comes in most often and stays the longest.  With her, Isabella is more than content to just talk, finding solace in her sister's presence.]

[Throughout the day, Isabella is clearly in pain, although Julieta's cooking keeps it mostly at bay.  Meribel can't help but notice the serious expression from the adults whenever they're in the room, though she tries her best to ignore them.]

[As the day draws to a close, Isabella is able to join the rest of the family for dinner, but she is visibly not herself.  Partway through the meal, Julieta sees how tired she looks and gently tells her to go back to bed.  Meribel offers to go with her, and Isabella smiles, visibly grateful.]

[Together, they make their way to Isabella's room, where Meribel helps her get settled before sitting by her side.  They talk quietly for a while, the warmth of their bond providing comfort in the midst of Isabella's pain.  Eventually, Isabella drifts off to sleep, her breathing steady and calm.  Meribel stays by her side until she falls asleep, feeling grateful for the opportunity to be there for her sister in her time of need.]
