Routine

With Joseph expressing his desire to continue his weight training, Kay mentally ticked off the box in her checklist. Her purpose was to get him to start doing what he normally did, rather than just focus on looking after his sister.

He, too, needed to be taken care of and from the looks of it, no one was really doing that.

Not that he was being ignored, but rather, it seemed to be the natural order of things?

Their dad, Stephan, went to work like normal.

Joseph, being the eldest, would naturally look after his sister even though she didn't really need 'taking care of'. In the sense that she kept to herself and didn't cause trouble. 

But when that happened, what about Joseph? He was left alone and who knows what sort of things went through his mind? What he was truly feeling?
