Everything began to fall about them.
They didn't get it because at one moment they were happy children on a beach and by the time the next arrived they were orphans who were practically slaves.
Klaus knows it's just Violet, Sunny and himself and he feels trapped in there because he is but it doesn't matter, it can't matter.
They can't afford for matter.
So Violet smiles and Klaus thinks and Sunny's just sort of left in the middle of it.
But Violet, she will smile and smile until Klaus feels he can't live without that smile and he eventually finds Sunny asleep and goes to Violet and does what he needs to but it doesn't work and she's scared and shrill and the only reason she's not screaming is because of little Sunny.
So Klaus's broken and Violet's not smiling.
