Isiah found himself in a peculiar situation after Richard's recent ascension to Emperium and the subsequent upheaval in his own life.
His mother had reached out to him a few times, but each time, he was conspicuously absent from his home. He couldn't bring himself to face her; not yet, not after everything that had transpired between them.
Instead, Isiah learned through various sources that Richard's mother had left behind a generous bundle of provisions for him. There was homemade food, cooked with genuine love and care, a selection of fresh fruits her husband had picked up from the local orchards, and even a few of Richard's old clothes.
Richard's mother had always been more than just a family friend. Isiah could never forget the countless times she had been there for his own mother, offering guidance, steady support, and warmth when his family needed it most.
