[It's going to take a lot more than soap, rags, and soup to fix this.
But as always, it's when they don't want him to try when he puts the energy in. They've noticed the absence of two occupants of this household. They know why Wade is seeking his own space. Tibia refuses to come near them, and last they saw of Asriel, he was an awkward, miserable lump by the door- staying on the off chance that they'll call for him.
He should know full well that they won't.
They can smell the broth from here- it hits them with all the salty tang of sea tea; another reminder of a home that isn't theirs and a Partner that isn't here. He's helping, because for some reason, he's decided to put in an effort.
It doesn't make them resent him any less. If anything, they resent him more.
Why didn't he do this before it was too late? Why are they suddenly worth the effort, now that they're a child he doesn't know?
