Rain drums a steady rhythm on the Gotham rooftop, neon signs smearing their colors through the thick mist. Damian Wayne perches on the ledge's edge, a dark silhouette against the city's electric glow. His cape snaps and flutters in the wet wind. Below, the traffic murmurs like a restless, slumbering beast. He leans forward, resting his elbows on his knees, the coiled tension of months finally unwinding into a strange, quiet calm. He glances sideways, a faint, rare smirk touching his lips. The boy who once saw only the Joker's looming shadow now perceives something entirely different. He speaks, his voice flat yet stripped of its old poison, giving voice to the slow transformation from hatred to a hard-won, reluctant respect.
