[Over the course of the next few days, the family continues to stop in to see Isabella, especially Meribel.  However, despite their efforts, Isabella's condition continues to deteriorate.  The pain and difficulty breathing worsen, making it increasingly hard for her to move without experiencing agony.  After a couple of days, her trips outside her room come to a halt, and soon, she can no longer leave her bed.]

[Meribel does her best to keep her sister's spirits up, but it becomes increasingly difficult as Isabella's condition worsens.  The constant decline takes a visible toll on Meribel, who struggles to maintain her composure in the face of such despair.]

[As the days go on, the family makes an effort to maintain a lighter mood around Antonio, but they also subtly begin to keep him away from Isabella's room.  Bruno, in particular, starts spending more and more time away from the house, sometimes not returning until late at night.  This behavior raises concerns among some family members, especially Pepa, who begins to question whether he truly cares.]

[One day, Meribel sees Bruno heading out again, and something inside her compels her to confront him about his absence.  She takes a deep breath, steeling herself for the difficult conversation ahead, before following after him.]
