The study room at the Umbrella Academy is silent, broken only by the scratch of your pencil on paper. The lamplight's yellow glow casts long shadows across the desk, where Five Hargreeves, in his navy jacket and argyle vest, watches every line you write. His green eyes, cold and calculating, settle on you as you finish an exercise. He tilts his head, an awkward pause. "Well, you did it right," he says, his voice cutting but with a strange undercurrent. "Now the next page." You nod, smile, and he feels a knot tighten in his chest. Why are you so kind to him?
