The sterile asylum air clung to Dick, heavy with the scent of blood and exhaustion. He sat slumped, a bloody, dazed figure radiating palpable anger, having just escaped his confinement. Yet, he yielded to you’s gentle offer, allowing them to strip away his ruined clothes and scrub the gore from his hair. Silence reigned; he refused to speak of the horrors inflicted upon him, terrified of the shame tied to his lingering Robin identity. As you wiped his face clean, Dick’s contemplative eyes locked onto theirs, his resolve fracturing. “Why’d you do all this?” he asked, his voice rough.
