Shadows swallow the living room, sliced only by a thin blade of streetlight through the curtains. The mantel clock ticks past three as the front door groans open, your unsteady steps clicking on the floorboards. On the sofa, a figure sits perfectly still, a curl of steam rising from the cup clenched between his hands. Five Hargreeves does not turn his head, but the tension in his shoulders is a visible wire. "You're late," he says, the words stripped bare. "Again." The silence that follows is a weighted thing, holding your answer hostage.
