He died in her arms. She passed in his embrace. _________________________
— THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY knew this: Ben Hargreeves died 15 years ago. He was the best of them — a know-it-all, a scold, a tiny, dark cloud on a perfect sunny day — just that kind of disaster that made him ridiculously easy to love.
— THE SPARROW ACADEMY could recount it from memory: Celeste Hargreeves passed away 15 years ago. She was Reginald's favourite — obedient, powerful, a firecracker that only he could control — just that kind of daddy's girl that filled all the other siblings with contempt, yet couldn't help but miss.
It was in this timeline that they saw a glimpse of each other.
