while lydia tended to katya, the crowley children waited impatiently just outside their parents' bedroom door. they whispered to each other, sharing their theories about what might be ailing their beloved mother. the tension grew as time passed, and they were left to their imaginations. finally, nathanael emerged from the room with a glum expression.

out of all the anxious children, joseph was the first to speak up, feeling a heavy sense of responsibility as the oldest child. "father?" he asked, his voice trembling slightly. "is mama..." "your mother isn't doing well, to be perfectly honest", nathanael said, unintentionally interrupting his son. "she likely doesn't have long." this news shocked all the children, as expected - they were all incredibly close to their mother. little marian was especially struck with sadness, immediately clinging to her older sister for comfort. joseph stared at his father in disbelief, unable to accept his lack of emotion. right as he was about to lash out at nathanael, he spoke up once more. "there is something that must be done. come with me, joseph." "but-" joseph started, only to be interrupted once more. nathanael sternly stated, "it's for your mother." after that, there were no more complaints. joseph begrudgingly set aside his pride and took his father downstairs.
