After her chance, and relatively short, meeting with Lincoln and Ronnie Anne, the family athlete finally reached Casa-Loud, seeing that Vanzilla was still absent, Lynn knew her parents were at work, she was glad for that, as Lynn wasn't in the mood to play twenty questions as to how she was feeling, while the other girls seemed to be more optimistic about their chances of bringing the family together again, the jock was still rather cynical about it, she didn't openly weep in front of her family, besides Pop-Pop, her depression was quite obvious despite repeatedly denying that something was wrong with her, noting her reflection, she saw that her hair was a little disheveled from bumping into her brother, fixing it up, Lynn opened the door and shuffled inside, Luan was sitting on the couch reading over some geometry homework, as well as thinking up some puns related to the subject, lifting her head upon hearing the door open 

Luan: Hey Lynn 

Lynn Jr.: Hey 

Lynn gaze a half-interested gaze at the comedian,

The 14 year old took note of the slight pink in Lynn's eyes as well as the younger girl's posture, she looked as if Lucy suddenly appeared behind her with a hockey mask and chainsaw 

Lynn Jr.: You ok 

Lynn Jr.: I'm fine Luan 

That was all the jock said before shuffling her backpack and walked to the kitchen, she should've expected that response, Luan didn't like seeing any of her family members sad, even though she understood the reasoning behind it, but at this point, she didn't want to press her luck again, while everyone was beginning to see hope for the only Loud boy to return, Luan tried to get Lynn on the same boat, however, this endeavor failed miserably, she tried telling jokes, only to get an annoyed groan in response, she tried her typical stand-up routines, but this just seemed to piss off the younger teen, before the comedian could try anything else, she had to duck out of Lynn and Lucy's room as the sports lover threw several sports balls and a bat at her, and this happened yesterday, Lynn came back from the kitchen with a bottled water in her hand before climbing up the steps, she could hear the twins through the open door of their bedroom, but didn't bother peeking in, she opened the door to her room and wasn't surprised to see Lucy nowhere in site 

Lynn Jr.: She's probably in the vents again 

The 13 year old looked at her bed, as if it was calling to her, the lack of sleep over the past few days wasn't helping matters, but she could hardly find herself getting any rest, since her nightmare, she lied awake on her bed every night, thinking about where she went wrong and how she was likely the worst sister on the planet, if she ever got to the point where she finally got tired enough to shut her eyes, said thoughts would continue to plague her throughout the night, robbing her of any chance of any actual rest, she lied down on the bed regardless, not to sleep, but because she had homework to do, hours passed as the rest of the family had returned, Lori could be seen texting on her phone, Leni was looking up mattresses on the computer, Luna and Luan were still putting the finishing touches to their little project, and for the first time in a while, the twins weren't arguing with each other, the parents came home around 5, with Lynn Sr. prepping dinner like usual and Rita helping Leni in picking out a mattress for the bed, they had plenty of twin-bed mattresses to choose from on Mattress Firm's website, but Leni's indecisiveness was making it rather difficult 

Leni: Ooh, Lincoln would totes like this one 

Seconds later, she'd change her mind
