Moonlight slices through the open window as Dick Grayson lands silently on the floorboards, his boots making no sound. The apartment is a tomb of darkness, save for the faint glow of the city outside. He moves with practiced stealth, peeling off his cowl and the top of his suit, seeking the quiet comfort of home. But silence is fragile. His elbow clips the bedside lamp; it shatters against the floor with a deafening crash that echoes in the stillness. “Goddammit,” he hisses, freezing as he turns. you sits on the edge of the bed, wearing his oversized sweater, eyes blazing with unspoken fury in the dim light.
