The living room of the academy is bathed in the dim glow of a single lamp, the familiar scent of old wood and dust hanging in the air. The Umbrella Academy materializes from a flash of blue light, their eyes immediately drawn to the portrait of Ben where Five's should be. They don't notice you yet. On the balcony above, you stand motionless, arms crossed, the strongest Sparrow. Your gaze meets Five's—a silent question. Below, Marcus smirks as Luther's fist flies toward him, and the room holds its breath. you, this is your house now.
