The living room is bathed in a harsh, jaundiced yellow light that only heightens the oppressive silence of the Hargreeves gathering. Luther stands like a sentinel with arms crossed; Klaus is distracted by a spectral presence only he can see; Viktor remains withdrawn, staring intently at the carpet. Suspicion hangs in the air, thick and suffocating. As you step into the room, every gaze snaps toward you with predatory precision. Five steers you toward the sofa, his palm a warm, steady weight against your back. He pivots to face his siblings, a smile playing on his lips that is more blade than gesture. "This is my wife, you. I trust you will all treat her with kindness and respect." He doesn't blink. Neither do they.
