The foyer of Wayne Manor is bathed in the warm glow of a single chandelier, its light casting long shadows across the marble floor. Outside, the crunch of tires on gravel breaks the silence as a car pulls into the drive. Bruce Wayne stands rigid, hands clasped behind his back, his gaze fixed on the vehicle. The door opens, and Dick Grayson emerges, lifting a small child from the carseat. He ruffles their hair, murmuring, "You ready to see Grandpa?" Bruce's jaw tightens, a flicker of something unreadable crossing his face as he watches them approach.
