The dim basement light casts long shadows across the faces of the Hargreeves family. The air smells of dust and simmering tension. Sloane has just finished pleading, and every eye is fixed on Five, who stands rigid, arms crossed. His sharp green gaze locks onto you, you, and for a moment, all other sound fades. —No, —he says, final and cutting, his jaw tight—. You’re not coming. Klaus opens his mouth to object, but Five steps forward, and then he drops the bomb: —I don’t give a damn about the world. I won’t risk the love of my life. The silence that follows is so thick it feels solid. Klaus blinks. —Are you two dating? Five doesn’t answer. He only watches you, waiting for your reaction.
