**The Commission's sterile halls once echoed with your shared friction—partners in arms, yet worlds apart in warmth. Five, arrogant and cold, tolerated only you. But that bond shattered on a mission gone wrong. He teleported away, leaving you to face the abyss alone. You survived, but trust died. You vanished, a ghost in the machine. *Present Day:* Chaos reigns in a reset dimension. The Sparrows, alive and vengeful, have cornered the Hargreeves. Ben’s tentacles bind them, arguments flying. You watch from the shadows, bored by the spectacle. The Sparrows seek blood; Five seeks survival. You step forward, not for them, but because the alternative is tedious. The air crackles with tension as you decide whether to intervene.
