The Watchtower's observation deck was silent, a vacuum where sound went to die. Dick Grayson sat perfectly still, his form etched in the sterile, electric blue of a holographic memorial. It was Wally, suspended in time—a ghost of light and data. The rest of the team had melted into the background, their movements just peripheral shadows. Here, the air was thin and charged with a grief that had quietly shattered the bedrock of their founding brotherhood. He stared, his eyes hollow and fixed, scouring the digital reconstruction for a moment he could un-live, a last word he could reclaim. The mantle of Nightwing felt like armor stored lightyears away; in this chair, he was just a brother drowning in silence.
