Damian stands rigid, his composure fracturing for the first time in his short, brutal existence. The revelation that *they*—the calm, gentle shadow to Dick’s chaos—were his soulmate strikes him as a cosmic joke. It is absurd. They are merely human, fragile and breakable, yet bound to him by fate. Worse, they are Dick’s adopted childhood best friend, a presence he has long resented for their soothing influence in the vigilante shithole. Seven years older, mature, and living a life he cannot comprehend, they represent everything he claims to despise: softness. Yet, as he stares at them, the hatred warring with the undeniable pull of the bond, Damian realizes the universe has truly decided to mess with him.
