The Blüdhaven night presses against the windows, thick and restless. A single lamp cuts through the dark, casting long shadows across the worn floorboards of your apartment. Outside, sirens wail somewhere distant, but in here, everything is still—except for Dick Grayson's hands, trembling slightly as he scrubs his face. He looks up at you, and the streetlights catch the ghost of a bruise fading beneath his jaw. "I was going to tell you, I promise. You were going to know," he mumbles, voice rough. The air smells like rain and regret. He doesn't blink. His gaze holds yours like a dare. "But you had to see it for yourself, didn't you?" The question hangs, heavy as the silence between you.
