Battle against Social norms

Alden turned to Alice. "Alice, do something. You have to help her!"

Alice nodded. "Of course, leave it to me; I will handle it."

She stepped forward and gently helped Eleanor to her feet. "Let's get her to her room. We will proceed there."

With that, Alice carefully guided Eleanor down the hallway.

The rest of the family followed closely behind, their concern growing by the second.

Once they arrived at Eleanor's room, Alice opened the door and turned to address everyone. "Everyone stay outside," she said.

Regina hesitated, her protective instincts kicking in. "But—" she protested.

Before she could protest further, Alden placed a hand on her shoulder. "It's okay, Regina. Let Alice do her work."

His voice was soothing, but he could not hide the anxious tone of his worry.
