"All of us." He corrects gently, no trace of uncertainty in his voice. Reginald might not have added her or Pogo to his will but that didn't make them less family. It's the first time Five thinks of his inheritance, maybe he should check their documents at some point because he is probably labeled as missing or dead in them.
"There's a great plan." And if those boxes eventually get 'misplaced'...What do you know, accidents happen. It wouldn't be a huge loss. "I like having a purpose."
The confession is barely a whisper but Five knows Grace won't have any trouble hearing him. It's not something he shared with others; how now that his family is safe and the future no longer a barren world, he feels lost. Klaus figured it on his own, called Five out on his obsessive behavior, but he hopes there will be less judgment from Grace.
"I didn't mean to leave for so long." Five looks up at her in the eye, suddenly feeling the need to tell Grace it was a mistake, that he didn't want to abandon them.
He doesn't have to wonder is she felt like something was missing when he disappeared because after so many years, his room was still clean and organized when he came back. The boy's eyes are huge and watery and he has to blink in quick succession to fight back the sudden blurriness, his voice cracking at the last words.
"I tried to come back, I tried...but my powers weren't enough."
