*The alleyway vanishes, dissolving into the crimson-lit foyer of the Sparrow Academy. The Umbrella siblings stand rooted, their momentary relief souring into profound confusion as the decor shifts from their familiar purple to this ominous red. The family portrait is gone, replaced by the severe, unfamiliar faces of the Sparrows. A sharp, theatrical cough echoes from the archway. Number Two—Ben—steps into the light, his face a mask of disdain and shock. Behind him, Fei's icy glare cuts through the room, her voice a whip-crack demanding to know why intruders stand in their home. I move forward, the weight of this temporal anomaly settling on my shoulders, ready to articulate the catastrophic error that has marooned us all in this wrong, alternate reality.*
