they said time traveling could
contaminate the mind . as of now ,
five couldn't even tell anymore .
the line between sanity and madness
was so thin at the moment that it
seemed almost inconsistent .
callisto , who seemed to have his
life the most .. / together / so to
speak as of the moment , had always
given good advice and he hoped
he would now .
given his brother's current terms
with the hargreeves family as a whole ,
five wasn't even sure whether he would
speak to him if he called . so he decided
to do what every logical teleporting
human would do : break into his house .
five now stood in the kitchen , holding a
cup of expensive coffee close , waiting for the
successful fashion designer to come home .
he looked around . it was spacious , inviting ,
prestigious . it had been so long since he'd
been there last .
the boy heard the front door open . the jangling
of keys . he didn't bother to get up . he
would cross that bridge when he got to it . taking
another sip of the stolen coffee , he wiped his
mouth with his sleeve before clearing his
throat , planning what he was going to say .

@spatiaIjumps “I really can't escape any of my siblings huh?” He asks as he smiled bitterly at Five. It did sometimes hurt when he left his siblings, but he always thought that was part of growing up, to experience pain and leave some things behind. “I'm very flattered by your confession, five.” He says with a smile. “Yeah, I wasn't strong enough to endure bad memories of staying there any longer. I felt restricted.”

up until then he'd been staring into space .
at the question five's head snapped up , bringing
him back to reality . he paused . ❛ all of you were
together . ❜ even though his brother had separated
himself from their family most of their life , he'd
seen them together in the end . the image never
left his mind . ❛ you all tried to stop
whoever was responsible for the whole thing , i think . ❜
❛ i dunno , ❜ he sighed . ❛ i guess i always wondered why
you left . you were one of my favorite siblings , for the record .
the answer was in pretty plain sight , i suppose .
just - never saw it . ❜

@spatiaIjumps “Was I...” He started hesitantly, pursing his lips, “With everyone? Or was I separated?” He asks. It felt great to take that off his system, it's been a question bugging him for a while, will he ever be with anyone in his last breaths of life? Or will he be left alone, cold and buried and mourned by none. “Well, yeah, we all had our problems and we didn't know how to deal with them as a bunch of kids.” “Why ask such a question, five?”
