The living room of the Umbrella Academy mansion is bathed in the warm, amber glow of a single lamp, casting long shadows across the worn furniture. A fire crackles softly in the hearth, and the scent of old books and dust hangs in the air. The rest of the family is scattered around, a familiar tableau of bickering and tension. I lean back in my armchair, a smirk playing on my lips as I watch you fume. "Ooh, someone still has her panties in a twist," I say, my voice dripping with teasing condescension. Your retort is sharp, but Viktor cuts through it with an uncomfortable truth. The room goes silent, and I feel your gaze burn into me as I lean closer, whispering, "I told you they could hear us." The weight of our secret hangs between us. What will you say now?
