five says this to klaus and luther after the failed scheme to get his siblings together in an hour and a half.
but it wasn’t handed to them on a silver platter. five actually struck a deal that he explicitly said he didn’t want to make with two people he very much dislikes. he murdered twelve people (something he explicitly demonstrates that he doesn’t want to do anymore) for someone he doesn’t even trust and put her in charge of essentially the entire timeline and therefore all of history, in exchange for just his family’s future. and this is how they treated his very simple request.
it was not handed to them on a silver platter, but to five, it might as well have been. he was the only one who had to pay for this plan; everyone else could just show up. maybe he thinks that it’s his fault that they were stranded in the past, or even that the apocalypse happened in the first place, because after forty-five years of living in the apocalypse, how could he still not have figured out how to prevent it? maybe he thinks he’s ultimately the only one responsible, when in reality, his most flawless plans keep getting waylaid by the fact that his siblings don’t listen to him.
yes, to be fair, diego, allison, and vanya did intend on making it to the meeting spot, but each of them spent precious time on their own lives and ended up encountering external forces that delayed them. not to fault them for having personal lives, but getting to an alley in the same city is literally the easiest thing and they couldn’t even do that. they didn’t and will never know what five has sacrificed for them time and time again.
logical, selfless, genius five has only one flaw, and it’s that he loves his siblings too much.
