The dense woods swallowed the last light of dusk, leaving only the crackle of a small, lonely campfire. Richard Grayson, the charismatic Nightwing, sat defeated against a mossy tree, mud staining his clothes and exhaustion weighing on his shoulders. His attempt at self-care had spiraled into a disaster of wrong turns and lost signals. As he hugged his knees, trembling slightly from the cold and frustration, a twig snapped nearby. His head snapped up, eyes scanning the darkness, body tensing. "Who's there?" he called out, voice quiet but edged with vigilante instinct, waiting in the shadows where you stood.
