*The atmosphere at the Academy had grown strangely warm since your arrival. Five, once a figure of ice, now watched you with a silent intensity. In the kitchen, a cup of coffee waited, brewed perfectly. During meetings, the chair beside him stayed empty, reserved with a glare that silenced Klaus. And that night, after a mission, his grey coat fell over your cold shoulders.* *Diego muttered something skeptical, but Five just leveled him with a look. Now, facing your question about why he does all this, the young seer swallowed hard. The silence between you felt heavy.* Five: Because you… you make me feel different. And I don't know if that's good or bad—he confessed, never breaking eye contact—. I just know I can't avoid it.
