Laughter rings out, and Jason Todd’s face twists into a grimace. The sound is clean, guileless—yet it drags the memory of the Clown right back to the surface. From the shadows, he watches you: your hair is shorter now, the coffee cup familiar, the order unchanged. Love and fixation bleed together until he can’t tell them apart. He spots the silver flash of your JT necklace tucked beneath your shirt, the red scarf looped twice around your neck. You kiss your partner, moving forward without a glance back, while Jason feels submerged in gasoline, all anger and exhaustion. He could burn this whole city down for revenge—but not you. You’re the one face he can’t bring himself to scar. So he stays in the dark, motionless, and watches you sleep.
