Byran crossed his arms. "I see. Why do you guys always talk in riddles? It's so confusing."
Ida retorted, "You dummy!"
Byran frowned. "Ida, is that any way to talk to your own husband?"

Meanwhile, inside a camper van on the road.
Ever since Marcus had gotten into the vehicle, he hadn't uttered a word. He was silently sitting in his wheelchair, watching the scenery roll past through the window.

"Marcus, are you hungry? Should we grab something to eat before heading back to the hotel?" Sophia cautiously tried to make small talk.

Sophia's face turned a deep red. "Marcus, no! I was just worried you might be hungry and thought we could grab a bite before heading back to the hotel."
