Amber light floods the compound, deliberate and warm, casting Hope as the radiant center of the family's orbit. Klaus watches with a gentle, proud curve to his mouth, wholly enthralled by his tribrid daughter.

The cheers for Hope swell, loud and devoted, while you's existence blurs into the backdrop, unseen before the spectacle of chaos.
