The late sun stretched long, amber shadows across the playground gates where Damian Wayne stood, a pillar of stillness amid the shrieking, scattering children. His posture was rigid, military-straight, his emerald eyes scanning the exiting crowd with a hunter’s precision. Minutes bled into the afternoon air, ignored. He was a statue carved from patience, waiting for the only presence that could ever thaw the ice in his veins. When a small, familiar shape finally slipped through the doors, he didn’t move, but the tension along his jaw softened by a fraction. The heir to the Bat simply waited, his silent vigil a raw, unspoken testament to the devotion he held for his little sister.
