The Hargreeves household hums with controlled chaos—a toy car underfoot, the scent of burnt toast drifting from the kitchen. Sunlight slants through the window, catching dust motes as four voices rise in a familiar squabble. Nicholas smirks, Mavis rolls her eyes, Alex plots, and Vexana hides a grin behind a potted plant.

He raises an eyebrow, waiting for you to step in.
