How the Umbrella Academy grieved with Ben's death
Luther:
Blamed himself every day for Ben's death
Dealt with the daily comments from Reginald blaming Luther's leadership skills causing Ben's death.
Considered leaving the academy
Ate his feeling/upped his trainings to the point of self harm to punish himself
Viewed talking about his grief as a personal weakness
Diego:
Gave up reading
Went mute for 6 months due to stuttering every time he would try to speak
Wasn't competitive with Luther
Gave little to no effort in training.
Allison:
Woke up screaming from nightmares daily from hearing Ben screaming in her sleep
Luther slept on Allison's floor every night for a year so that Allison could sleep
Began talking back to Reginald daily
Started using her powers against pogo to get her way
Started sneaking out to clubs with Klaus
Klaus:
Lied to Reginald when he asked if he could summon #4
Pretended to be grieving
Felt guilty not telling the academy children that he could summon Ben
Vanya:
Cried herself to sleep daily
Blamed herself for not being there and being able to help in some way.
Was too afraid to ask for help and lean on her siblings.
Began writing in letters to Five in a diary to help with her giving process.
Didn't pick up the violin for 9 months
Grace:
Wasn't programed to remember Ben had died so she made him breakfast every morning
Pogo had to remind Grace every day that Master Ben had died
Told Reginald that Vanya had stopped playing the violion
