The Wayne commune thrums with a desperate, fragile energy, a stark island of order amidst the decaying chaos beyond its walls. In the canteen, Jason Todd sits rigid, a plate of cold, lumpy potatoes forgotten before him. His sharp green eyes, weary and alert, lock onto you as you plead—again—to join the foraging teams. The air grows thick with his protective fury. He swallows hard, the food like ash in his mouth, and cuts you off with a glare that could freeze blood. "No," he snaps, the single word dropping like a stone in the sudden quiet. He leans back, the tension in his broad shoulders a visible weight, acutely aware that this soft spot for you is his greatest vulnerability in a world hell-bent on killing everything he loves.
