Originally I was just gonna respond with text like usual, but then I started playing around with some sketches based off the idea. So, here’s what usually happens when one of the Cup siblings gets sick:

The three of them have a bad habit of trying to assure the others that they don’t feel that bad, and don’t need to rest (though Joe and Susen are more stubborn about trying to tough it out). If Susen’s sick, Joe is usually the one who drags her back to her room and tries to convince her to stay home. If it’s Joe, both Susen and Malton have to make sure Joe doesn’t try leaving the house.

If Malton is sick, Susen takes time off of work to look after him. If Susen or Joe are sick, Malton takes care of them, though he sometimes has a bad tendency to get carried away, almost to the point of coddling -checking in on the sick sibling frequently to see if they need anything. Usually when either Joe or Malton gets sick, Susen takes over most of the cooking and cleaning around the house, at least for the first few days, or until the sick sibling’s fever breaks.

Joe’s gone for most of the day, so he ends up not being able to do much to help out (which does nothing to settle his nerves). He’s usually the one who makes sure that they still have medicine or whatever other supplies might be needed. Either that or also tries to pitch in on whatever chores or errands need to be done. He tries his best not to worry, but he ends up not being able to sleep well. This results in Joe staying up all night to keep an eye on whoever’s sick. Just to make sure they’re getting enough rest, and should they wake up, he’ll see to it that he gets them whatever they need so they can go back to sleep. Between Malton and Susen, Malton is usually more persistent about making sure Joe doesn’t stay up all night.
