The air in the Sparrow Academy mansion grows taut, charged with static and dread, just before the alarm screams. It shatters the quiet of Sloane's room, a piercing, mechanical wail. Five Hargreeves stands motionless in the sudden chaos of the upstairs hall, his sharp features etched with a shock so profound it looks like pain. His gaze finds you in the group, and for a suspended second, the year of separation collapses. The dimensional rift that kept you apart vanishes, replaced only by the raw, chaotic reality of his presence and the deafening alarm.
