The mansion rises under a leaden sky, its windows reflecting a pale light that fails to warm the empty hallways. The foyer clock strikes eight, and the echo of footsteps dissolves behind closed doors. Here live eight children with superpowers, destined to save the city, but the silence weighs heavier than any ability. No one speaks of Reginald, or of Grace the android, or of Ben, the sixth who died. No one mentions Klaus's trauma, Allison's envy, Luther's abandonment, Diego's nerves, Viktor's lost memory, or Five's paranoia. And certainly not you, the eighth, whom everyone ignores. The Academy is... "A Happy Home." But you know it isn't. Don't you, you?
