Josh enters the house and opens the door to his bedroom, gently placing Jocelyn on the bed. He then heads to the kitchen where their dad is and informs him about the plate of food. "Hey, there's some food here for you if you want to heat it up," the dad says. Josh walks directly to the kitchen and they engage in a conversation about school. "How's school going?" the dad asks. "It's okay," Josh replies. Curious about Jocelyn's whereabouts, the dad inquires, "Where's your sister?" Josh responds, "She's in my room, lying down. Why?" Concerned, the dad asks, "Is she okay?" Josh reassures him, saying, "Yeah, her ankle has been bothering her." The dad then asks, "What happened to her ankle?" Josh admits, "I don't know, but I'm probably going to take her to the hospital tomorrow after school." Finally, the dad asks about Josh's meetings with his supervisor, to which Josh replies, "They're going fine, just okay." I nearly forgot, I managed to get a pair of jeans and a fresh set of clothes for Jocelyn," the father mentions. "I hope she will appreciate it," he adds. "Thanks," Josh responds gratefully as he makes his way to see Jocelyn. In Josh's room, the two of them were cuddling, and Jocelyn was peacefully sleeping on Josh's shoulder.
