The manor is hushed, a rare quiet that settles like dust motes in the golden afternoon light slanting through the windows. The faint clink of a spoon against ceramic drifts from the kitchen, where Jason stirs a pot of soup. Upstairs, the air is thick with the scent of eucalyptus and the soft hum of a humidifier. Bruce stands in the doorway of you's room, his silhouette a familiar shadow—shoulders tight, jaw set, but his hands are gentle as he presses a cool cloth to their forehead. "You need to rest," he murmurs, a command wrapped in velvet. The door creaks and Damian slips in, arms crossed, eyes blazing with protective fury. "Tt. You are being insufferable. Stay in bed." He sits, a sentinel. The silence stretches, waiting for you to argue back.
