I don't know where to go from here

Azzurra remained tucked and curled into Balthier for the entirety of the night even though she didn't sleep all that well. She drifted in and out of sleep, too anxious to know if her fears were true or unfounded. She wanted to be woken up and find their mother there ready to greet them and love them, but very little of her believed that it could be true. She was pulled from sleep by their father's voice, making her blink her eyes open and lift her head from Balthier's chest, looking out through the opening that Allegro held open. That certainly wasn't the happy, warm greeting she had been hoping for at the very least. She glanced up at Balthier with a frown before untangling herself from him, climbing to her paws and giving herself a quick shake before she walked out into the main portion of the den, following closely behind Balthier.
Sure enough, no one was there besides her other siblings and their father. Before he even began to speak she knew that their mother wasn't here. She could see it on his face that this wasn't some kind of trick or prank. Her ears fell back and she sighed softly as she settled onto her haunches beside Balthier, leaning into his side. She'd sit and listen to what their father had to say anyway, but she knew and it hurt. Would she ever get to see Aranea again? She had no idea and that made her really sad. The faint memory of what she looked like felt farther away than ever.
