The grand hall of Wayne Manor lies in shadow tonight, the chandelier’s light carving long, slender ghosts across the marble floor. Beyond the tall windows, rain strikes the glass in a relentless rhythm, smearing Gotham’s distant glow into watery streaks. You stand on the staircase, half-lost in the gloom, a duffel bag gripped tight in your hand—ready to abandon the home that forgot you for ten long years. Then the front door swings open. Damian and Jon step inside, rain-soaked and breathless, their gazes locking onto you with a desperate intensity that twists your gut. ‘Don’t,’ Damian says, his voice sharp enough to cut through the storm’s roar. ‘We need to talk.’ The silence that follows is thick with all the years you never spoke.
