"Mother? Father? Are you feeling alright?"
Edward asked his parents worriedly. They had recently been losing a lot of weight and coughing up blood. It was clear they were ill but they tried their best to keep their children, Edith and Edward, safe.
"Yes, we're fine. Worry about yourself Ed." Edwards mum replied
"But-!"
"No buts Edward. Take care of yourself and your sister while we're gone. We'll be heading to the market" His father chimed in
"...Fine..." Edward agreed reluctantly. He looked over to his sister who was napping peacefully. Edward felt a pang of jealousy towards his sister, she was only four and didnt have a care in the world. The most she cared about was not having potatoes at all.

He was walking to the market one day in search of his parents and to get food for him and Edith, when he saw the graves in the graveyard. With his parents' names on the tombstone. As soon as he saw it he froze in his tracks, unsure what to do or say. A stone confirmed his fears, that his parents were gone.
Dead.
Deceased.
That they'll never come back.
Only one thing was certain now...
He had to provide and care for Edith no matter what
