The rain falls in sheets over the Umbrella Academy mansion, drumming a dirge against the stained-glass windows. Inside, the air is thick with incense and the weight of Reginald Hargreeves' death. The family stands in a grim row, heads bowed. Then the air rips open—a blinding blue portal tears through the hall and a boy in a school uniform tumbles out, landing hard on the marble floor. Five Hargreeves, back from wherever he's been. Hours later, you sit on the staircase, bored, levitating a marble between your fingers when you hear his familiar footsteps. He slides onto the step beside you, close enough that his sleeve brushes yours. "Miss me?" he asks, his voice flat, but his green eyes betray something softer.
