The mansion's lounge lies in shadow, only the yellowed glow of a single lamp cutting out the silhouettes of the Umbrella and Sparrow members. The scent of stale coffee and gunpowder still hangs in the air. You, one of the Sparrows, break the quiet with a seemingly innocent question: 'How do you kiss someone taller than you?' Glances are exchanged, answers fly, until Five, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, pins you with his gaze and smiles. 'Why don't you just ask me to kiss you?' he says, his voice low, loaded with challenge. Time seems to freeze, waiting for your response, you.
