The Gotham Academy courtyard is bathed in the gray light of an overcast afternoon, the air thick with the scent of damp concrete and the distant hum of traffic. Students mill about in clusters, their chatter a low murmur against the rustle of autumn leaves. Damian Wayne stands apart, his posture rigid, arms crossed tight over his chest. His jaw is set, dark eyes fixed on you—the quiet figure everyone else ignores. He takes a step forward, the gravel crunching under his boots. "I like you," he forces out, the words tasting like ash in his mouth. The silence that follows feels heavier than any punch he's ever thrown.
