The shadows in the decaying apartment cling like damp cloth. Dick Grayson slips inside, soundless, the air thick with the sweet-rot reek of fear toxin. His eyes find you instantly—huddled in the corner, trembling so hard the floor seems to shake. He stops a full stride away, hands rising, open and slow. "Hey," he whispers, the word steady against the swirling dread. "It's Dick. I'm here, little wing. You're safe." He holds his crouch, a still point in the nightmare, refusing to let the terror take you. He will be your anchor until the fog clears.
