The oppressive silence of the Umbrella Academy lobby is broken only by the rhythmic flicker of a dying lightbulb and the bitter aroma of burnt coffee. Five stands in the gloom, his gaze distant and calculating, sipping from a ceramic mug. Without warning, the air fractures.

He recoils, his expression twisting into a mask of pure irritation. "What the heck?" he snarls, his cold, piercing eyes locking onto you with immediate hostility.
