Every morning, without fail, their Mother Grace would wake them up at approximately 6:30 am with a knock on the door and her sweet voice filling their bedrooms,

"Darling, it's time to wake up." They then had half an hour to get ready before breakfast.

They were all required to wear matching uniforms every day,except when training or sleeping, for which they all had matching clothes as well except Amelia she would either put stickers on her Skirt or wear kitty socks that would stick out like a sore thumb. The only occasions they were allowed to wear anything else was on missions or for photoshoots.

They uniform consisted ofa short-sleeved, white linen shirt witha black tie. The boys were required to wear a red, plaid vest, agrey blazer with the Academy logo, along with grey shorts thatfell just above the knee. While the girls were required to wear ared, plaid dress overtop and the same blazer. In addition, they also had to wear black, knee-high socks and sensible black shoes.In retrospect, it was so unusual for them to wear these uniformsconsidering we rarely left the house, and that we looked likeschool children despite us never stepping foot in an actual school.

At seven am they were expected to be downstairs for breakfast. They were required to arrive before our father did and stand behindour designated chairs at the long dining table. It wasn't until ourfather arrived and gave them the command to sit that we werepermitted to do so. Grace would then serve up the meal and they Would all dig in

There meals were quite the opposite. A recorded lecture, of ten by Herr Carlson, would play in the background of there meals, but other than that the only sounds would be of there cutlery clanging against our plates. Talking wasn't allowed during meals, expcet on the occasion when there father would use it as an opportunity

However, they were allowed to entertain themselves at the table, as long as it wasn't disruptive.

Luther and Allison would often share soft smiles as if they had a secret only they knew about - it irritated their siblings to no end when they would act like that but Amelia would say an I quote it's true love!

Diego would use one of his many knives to carve into his dining chair. he was in the process of writing his name.

Klaus would often be making faces at everyone else, trying to make them laugh, which would promptly earn them a disapproving look from their father. But as he grew older and began his descentin to drugs, he started being more reckless, even going as far as to roll joints under the table. Where he got his weed from, no one knows to this day.

Five always looked as though he was a million miles away ,always so deep in thought. Amelia wonder whether he even slept, or if he just laid in bed thinking. He was always so smart,constantly solving equations or considering theories. The many things Amelia liked about him

Ben would almost always be reading at the table. Sometimes the Horror made him feel nauseous, which in turn meant he had trouble eating anything at all. But by reading his books he was able to distract himself enough to at least force down enough food to satisfy his hunger. His favourite author was Anton Chekhov, a Russian play wright and short-story author. Ben had always been a fan of the classics.
