After the death of the first generation members of this family, it wasn't so crowded anymore. It got a little more so after the birth of Zephania and Monifa's third child and second son, Albanus, though.
Their other son, Varius, had his birthday and became a child.
I'll admit that hings were a bit chaotic in this household. They were the first family to run out of food after the long winter, and their pond was no longer frozen so I had them fish, when it started raining heavily which led to a flood. Lightning struck a tree and Imani ran to check it out, but got caught in the streams and disappeared.
Varius was having fun in the waters, when the same thing happened to him and he was nowhere to be found.
Monifa was sick with worry (and starved, too), and miscarried on top of everything.
The only good thing to happen that day was the birthday of little Albanus. I guess those eyes are typical Callani by now. In the background we see Chinedu struggling to get the family some food.
Through some miracle, Monifa was surprised by her sons embrace the next morning. He survived! The family was happy to see him, but when they asked him if he had seen his aunt Imani, the answer was no. It seems like Chinedu has lost his beloved twin sister.
