Summary
Vanya was thirteen, and she had barely gotten her violin four months ago. She'd been playing so often, though, that she'd already improved greatly. Yet, her focus on the violin didn't mean she didn't spend time with her brothers.
When she played, it was always the same; Ben lounging on her bed reading, while Five was hunched over the desk, scribbling away in a notebook. She smiled. She loved being in the company of her brothers. Together, she knew she wasn't alone. They made sure of that.
(Until they didn't.)

Summary
He sighed agitatedly, harshly pressing the backspace button to get rid of a sentence he had just written. It didn't sound right; it made the flow of the paper seem awkward. He heard the creaking of the wooden floors beneath the carpet, signaling someone coming to his room.
"Why are you still up, Five?" Came Ben's voice from the doorway.
"I need to finish this," Five muttered, not even looking up from his laptop.
Another set of footsteps, and then, "Do you need me to edit it for you?" That time it was Vanya. "You should take a break for now."
Five shook his head, still typing. A break? He couldn't afford to take a break.

Summary
With individual training, the others never really knew what their siblings were doing. If someone came out with a few cuts and bruises, no one commented on it. If someone came out shaking, or just crashed on the couch, or ran into the bathroom to throw up, no one commented on it, either. It was normal to be at least a little beaten up after hard training like they'd had in recent days.
"Ben?" Vanya asked, looking at him expectedly, concern lining the features of her face. "Five?" Five only groaned in response.
Ben blinked at Vanya. Had she said something? "Er, sorry. Can you repeat that?"

Summary
Instead, she simply shrugged, "I don't know. I'm just kind of out of it, I guess." That wasn't a lie. It was probably the best way to describe what she was feeling.
"Well, you know what helps with that?" Ben asked excitedly, placing a bookmark in his book then putting it on Vanya's desk. Vanya glanced at Five who shrugged, his arms crossed. "Building a pillow fort!"
Five rolled his eyes as though being arrogantly dismissive. There was a gleam in his eyes and a slight quirk to his mouth that told Vanya otherwise, however. "We've never built a pillow fort, how would you know?"
It was Ben's turn to roll his eyes, replying, "I've read about it, duh." Five opened his mouth to speak, but Ben cut him off, "What do you think, Vanya?"
“I think that sounds like a great idea." Ben grinned triumphantly, sticking his tongue out at Five, who glared playfully before turning his head away from them with a small, amused smile. Vanya giggled at that.

Summary
The sound of footsteps alarmed him. He scrambled, grabbing the plate and blinking into his old room. He landed on his bed with a quiet sigh. His bed was very comfortable, much more comfortable than he remembered. But that might've just been because he'd been sleeping on the ground and on mostly flat debris.
There were hurried footsteps, a quiet argument, then the door flew open. "I'm telling you, Vanya, there's no way that--" Ben was saying before he stopped, seeing that Vanya was wide-eyed. He turned and his jaw fell open once he saw Five. Five simply smirked, setting down his plate on his nightstand.
"What? Did you miss me?"

Summary
There was a flash of blue beside him and a knock at the bathroom door. Footsteps, a door opening and closing, more footsteps and then, "Hey, Ben, how are you holding up?" It was Vanya, her voice soft and right beside him, so she was either crouching or sitting. He responded by proceeding to throw up again.
"Well, I guess that answers your question," Five muttered, and, in his mind, Ben knew his arms were crossed and he was probably leaning against the wall on the other side of him. His brother sighed, "I saw how you looked after what happened at the bank. You were all pale and clammy. I was hoping you'd feel better by now."
Feel better? If anything, Ben felt worse. Images of the Horror's tentacles flinging people and tears limbs flashed in his mind once again. He was definitely going to have nightmares that night. He hated the nightmares. He hated the killing.

Summary
Beside him, he could've sworn Dolores giggled. Maybe he was already losing his mind, only three years into this hell. He glared at Dolores, her serene smile unnerving. He really was losing his mind.
He stood and continued walking, finding a building up ahead. It wasn't totally broken, many walls were still standing and, as he got closer, he noticed some burnt up seating. Finally reaching his destination, he found part of a stage. He had found an amphitheater, one not unlike what Vanya used to dream of playing at.
A ghost of a smile played at Five's lips.
