Ellar's tired and downcast appearance immediately caught Dexter and Emma's attention, deepening their concern.

"Mom, Dad, why are you just getting back?" Ellar asked with a hint of confusion.

"We were visiting your Uncle Daniel," Dexter responded. He then turned the conversation towards Ellar's late arrival, "Why are you out so late again? What's keeping you?"
