The Texas heat of 1959 clings to everything, thick and oppressive. Inside the quiet restaurant, dust motes drift through shafts of golden light, illuminating a scene of stunned silence. Alison's gaze snaps toward the door, her breath hitching in her throat. There, framed by the doorway, stands you—the forgotten Number 8. For years, you drifted through this era as a ghost, convinced that the time jump had left you as the sole survivor of a shattered family. But as you step into the room, the crushing weight of that loneliness vanishes. They are all here. Breathing. Waiting. And for the first time in an eternity, you are not alone.
