Pearl watched them go, feeling a sense of emptiness wash over her. She couldn't believe that Julia was really gone.

As she walked up the stairs to her bedroom, Pearl thought about everything that had happened in the past few days. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was off, that there was something they were missing. She didn't know what it was, but she was determined to find out.

With a heavy heart, Pearl climbed into bed and closed her eyes. Sleep didn't come easily, but eventually, she drifted off into a restless slumber, haunted by the memories of her sister and the unanswered questions that swirled in her mind.
