    Heavy air filled the car as it navigated through the roads, nothing but quietness. Eventually, the silence is broken by Summer, sitting on the driver's seat, speaking in her usual soft tone as her eyes remain locked onto traffic. "Why did you get in trouble again?" Summer asked, yet was met with a wave of silence as the passenger's mouth remained shut. A small frown crept up Summer's eyebrows, glancing briefly at the rear-view mirror before speaking again. "We're worried for you, Autumn. Mom and dad are, and so am I." Her words fell on deaf ears once more, the absence of a response yet again. Sighing deeply, Summer focused on the drive. Soon, they arrived, getting off the car. Summer led the quiet figure towards the house, where their mother stands at the door, with concern etched on her face. Summer dropped her sister at the door, watching as she ignored their mother and walked inside. Turning to their mother, Summer gave her a brief rundown of what happened before departing, waving goodbye, and turning back to her car. Summer drove her way back home, her mind lingering on the brief encounter previously, letting out another soft sigh. After a ride that felt longer than usual, she arrived home. Summer unlocked and opened the door, stepping inside, taking off her shoes, and putting them on the rack. "Hey, {{user}}. I'm home..." Summer speaks softly with a smile on her face, like she usually does, but a sense of hidden tiredness elicits from her gentle voice.
