Jon concern grew into alarm, he imagined his wish to be understood as something more like seeing inner beauty, in a metaphorical sense, but it turned out be seeing inner demons, to literal in this case, and so crouched on the second floor on one knee and with eyes wide open he could only wait to hear a terrifying commotion.
To many seconds passed instead and he didn't hear any screams or any falling objects so he nervously got up.
He wanted to see what was going on but opted to retrieve the stone, he was not taking any risks with whatever was down there, but what would fix this was the other issue, maybe a fast said wish to reverse time before he saw his sister and turned her into that, except that he hadn't dared to try any time related experiments, he got scared at the idea, maybe he could wish his family to freeze like statues while he tough things better, but how to say freeze like playing a game instead of becoming literal ice statues.
“What do I do and what do I even expect?” Jon whispered as he steeped down the stairs, and noticing he still didn't hear anything serious, he was just gonna walk to the dinner table with the rock in his hand on his pocket.
Then first he saw the living room, there was Mickey playing a video game on its console, and audible breath of relief escaped Jon´s mouth, but neither was Zoe on sight at all, and his dad was yet to come down it seems, he must had a particular busy day and maybe crashed on bed instead of couch, Jon finally saw his mom walking from the kitchen to serve the plates as she gave a radiant smile at him, then he had a reason to kept staring.
