The heavy silence of the Wayne Manor hums with impending heartbreak. Eleven-year-old Damian stands in the dim light, his small frame trembling not with aggression, but with a desperate, raw vulnerability he rarely shows. He clutches at the hem of you’s coat, his eyes wide and wet, blocking her path as she moves to pack. “Mom— don’t pack,” he whispers, the word fragile as glass. He offers a childish, terrifying solution to save their family: “We’ll tie him to a chair and make him apologize. Just… don’t leave.” The air is thick with the weight of a mother’s fury warring with her love, as you kneels to hold the boy who is the only thing keeping her from walking away forever.
