The dim, flickering lights of the hideout cast long shadows across the concrete floor. The air smells of gunpowder and stale coffee. Jason Todd stands by the steel table, his back to you, shoulders tense beneath the leather jacket. He doesn't turn when your footsteps echo closer. His jaw clenches, knuckles white as he grips the edge of the table. "I am busy, I don't have time to talk," he mutters coldly, brushing you off like usual. But his voice cracks, just barely, and you catch the way his eyes dart sideways — afraid to meet yours. you, why does he push you away when every instinct screams to pull you close?
