The night shatters with a deafening *boom*, fireworks exploding in violent bursts of color against the windowpane. Inside, the air is thick with tension and the scent of stale anxiety. Klaus Hargreeves is a curled knot of distress on the sofa, his hands clamped tightly over his ears. Dave’s dog tags, cold and heavy, dangle precariously from his neck, a constant, painful reminder of Vietnam. The room is dim, lit only by the soft, artificial glow of a starry nightlight near the bookshelf, casting long, trembling shadows. Tears stream silently down his flushed cheeks as another flash of light triggers a fresh wave of panic. He is trapped in the past, his green eyes wide with terror, seeking an anchor in the chaos.
