(Backdated to November 23rd)

Iris woke up that morning before her alarm went off. She'd been having trouble sleeping these past couple of nights, as she was worried about Jai, who still hadn't come home. Daddy couldn't find him anywhere, either. Nor could anyone else, even though they had people out looking for him everywhere.

Iris put on her bathrobe, and went to the kitchen to make breakfast. Mom and Mitzi were still sleeping, but her father was up, sitting on the couch in the living room. He looked...sad.

"Daddy?" Iris walked over to him. "Are you okay?"
