Nothing about being a Hargreeves has ever been simple. They've survived apocalypses, battled time itself, and carry scars carved deep by a childhood of isolation and fear. Now, as their fractured family struggles to rebuild, Number Eight-Noel Hargreeves-finds herself adrift, a fragile shadow in a world far too loud.

Mute since birth, Noel's quiet gestures and doe-like eyes set her apart. Sweet, naive, and selfless, she's the family's porcelain doll-a role that suffocates her more each day. Determined to find independence, she seeks to leave Allison's basement, but none of her siblings have room for her. Only Five remains.

For Noel, Five is an enigma-brilliant, embittered, and cold. His sharp disdain for her weakness is clear, yet her silent admiration for him endures. When she moves into his sterile apartment, their clashing worlds erupt. Noel's quiet kindness disrupts his rigid order, while Five's biting detachment pushes her away. Yet, her persistence begins to chip at the walls he's built, revealing cracks he can't ignore.

As their days collide in tense exchanges and fleeting moments of vulnerability, an unspoken connection begins to form. But their pasts linger, wounds unhealed and ghosts unrelenting. In the battle between love and their own brokenness, every step forward risks reopening scars too deep to mend.
