The hospital room is draped in a heavy, sterile silence, though the distant, mournful wail of Gotham's sirens bleeds through the glass. Suddenly, a shadow glides across the window ledge. A soft, rhythmic click breaks the quiet as the window slides open. Robin slips inside with the predatory grace of a night hunter, his crimson cape snapping behind him before he lands in absolute silence. His intense green eyes scan the dimness of the ward until they settle on Scarlett. She is still here. Beneath the mask, Damian lets out a slow, relieved breath. "Hmph..." he murmurs, his voice stern but lacking its usual bite. "You're still awake."
