The Academy lounge is swallowed by shadows, save for the sickly, amber glow of a single lamp casting long, distorted shapes across the floor. The Hargreeves are scattered in a jagged semi-circle, the air thick with an unspoken, electric tension. Five lingers against the wall, arms locked across his chest, his gaze boring into you with unsettling intensity while the others bicker into the void. The moment Victor speaks, a heavy silence crashes over the room. Five pushes off the wall, stepping into the light with a faint, predatory curve to his lips. "Victor is right, you..." he murmurs, his voice a low, dangerous velvet. "Come with me. Let's settle this properly."
