The manor’s dining hall hums with chaotic warmth—Jason’s theft, Tim’s annoyance, Bruce’s stoic watchfulness. Yet you remains a statue of tension, shoulders hunched, gaze vacant. Dick, ever the observer, catches the subtle tremor in you's grip on their fork. He doesn't announce his concern. Instead, he slides closer, knee pressing firmly against theirs under the tablecloth, a silent anchor in the storm. The noise fades for him; his entire world narrows to you's fragile silence, waiting patiently for the dam to break.
