Summary
In a different world, you would have stayed at the table, you would have made small talk. In a different world, you wouldn’t have had the stomach. In a different world, you wouldn’t have pushed Neil aside. In a different world, your hands wouldn’t be bloody.
In this world, you’re the first one to make it up the stairs. You do what had to be done.

Bookmarker's Notes
"You don’t choose to be born the son of a criminal, or of someone who doesn’t want you, or even of someone who wants you very much though that doesn’t change anything. But you can choose to do something with who you become after that. Neil knows better than anyone that sometimes all it takes is saying yes to joining a team which you’re sure will kill you, or taking the plunge to come off a medication that was never good for you in the first place. Sometimes all it takes is making it up the stairs first."

Summary
But it always required sacrifice. Winning always required sacrifice.
"Ziggy, keep climbing, okay? Don't come down, no matter what. Not until help comes."
But the stakes are too high here. This isn't playing in the park with the neighborhood kids, where capture means sitting dormant on a designated bench until a teammate tags you out. This isn't about winning. This is about living. And how is Ziggy supposed to live without her sister?

Bookmarker's Notes
“Lucy had thought several very normal things about Lockwood’s face, a very normal amount of times since they’d met. This was the first time she thought it to be, at its core, distinctly punchable.”
//
“In the coming years the three at 35 Portland Row never quite managed to be normal people, but they did manage free. They filled their lives with chosen things;…They chose new friends, adversaries, and battles, and they chose each other. Over and over and over again. And really, what good is normal compared to something like that?” -

Summary
“Hey Five,” the crackly answering machine relayed to him, “It’s Viktor. Just wanted to let you know, I bumped into Klaus the other day- at the employment office, can you believe it? Didn’t think he was the 9 to 5 type. Anyway, he’s all fine and I gave him your number, he said he’d spread it to the others when he got the chance. So, um… yeah. Call me back when you can. Bye.”
Five listened to the message three times in total, his brother’s voice bouncing off the crooked walls. When it ended, the silence crept back in like a heavy fog until Five could remember he was sitting in a darkened, shabby room, utterly alone.
He needed something to drink.
***
Five gets a new job, a new life a new universe. Then why did it feel like nothing had changed at all?Everything that happened after the Hargreeves were blown into a new reality, told through messages on Five's answering machine. None of which he'd answer, of course. Just being around his family could put their new lives at risk- the further he could keep, the safer they'd be. It was better that way.
Didn't make it easier.
