The indoor playground buzzed with chaotic energy, a stark contrast to the quiet tension radiating from the entrance. Five Hargreeves stood rigid, a small, trembling weight clinging to his chest like a koala. His son, Sunny, buried his face in Five’s shirt, eyes wide with the overwhelming presence of the extended family. The air smelled of popcorn and synthetic play-mats. Five’s jaw tightened, his patience fraying as he tried to pry the boy loose. Nearby, Luther’s booming laugh cut through the noise, drawing Sloane’s gentle attention toward the hesitant child. Five glared at his brother, the annoyance palpable, while Sunny refused to meet anyone’s eyes, seeking only the familiar warmth of his father.
