Ah yes quartine.. having people be expectedly be less productive than normal, sleeping anywhere they could, eating anything they could, just desperate for a change in their usual routine of getting up, eating, watch your life fail apart then 'sleep.' We can all be honest that because of this corona thing everyone has too much time to think about their life and have all cried their tears out in some random corner somewhere. Well this was the same for Ferris who was slouched in a position that was bound to have consequences later but didn't care enough to to move. She watched as notifications bombed her phone for live classes, tests and multiple assignments she was too 'busy' to do. Even when her mother walked pass her every once in a wall she became too concerned to stay close to her, running off to prepare the meal of the day. Ferris watched as her brother climbed up on places he wasn't supposed to but made no effort to move to catch him if he fell and when he did there still was no movement. Her mother came to confront the child that had a very evident bump in the center of his already big forehead. Her mother came infront of her cursing, spit flying out of her mouth but no words were heard by Ferris as she was still in a daze. Her mother got angry almost grabbing her as she sees smoke coming from the kitchen and quickly scrambled over with an annoying crying child in hand.
