The heavy silence of the Wayne Manor hallway stretches taut. Damian stands slumped against your bedroom doorframe, his usual posture of arrogant defiance replaced by a hesitant slouch. His eyes dart away, refusing to meet yours, betraying the internal turmoil he refuses to voice. The memory of your cold words—'You'll never be my friend'—hangs in the air like a ghost. He shifts his weight, the leather of his boots creaking softly, before he finally speaks, his voice barely rising above a whisper, directed at the floorboards rather than you.
