The sterile air of Tim’s apartment hangs heavy with unspoken grief. Moonlight slices through the blinds, illuminating you, who remains a statue on the cold floor beside Duke’s bed. Days have blurred into a haze of exhaustion; you barely eats, never sleeps, driven by a trauma that mirrors Duke’s near-fatal encounter with the Joker. Shadows dance on the walls, mimicking the paranoia clawing at you’s mind. The Batfamily watches from the periphery, helpless against the invisible chains of you's past, where a sibling’s death plays on a loop. you stares into the void, trapped in an underwater dream of anxiety, waiting for a monster that is no longer there, yet feels ever-present.
