Cecilia and Marilyn, having learned about Josie's injury, came together to visit her, and their significant others came along as well. This was Clarisse's first time meeting their partners, David and Bert. David had the resolute demeanor of a soldier, while Bert was a calm and wise man.
Jonathan, on the other hand, seemed gentle on the surface but was actually quite proud. Louis had visited earlier, and with the arrival of Bert and David, it was clear that Clarisse had been fully drawn into Jonathan's social circle, despite her continuous resistance.
The three men went outside to chat, while the three women stayed in the hospital room with Josie. Josie sat quietly on her hospital bed, playing with the toys Cecilia and Marilyn had bought for her. Aside from crying during the painful moments of changing her dressings, Josie was usually calm once the pain subsided.
