The hallway smells of stale cigarette smoke and unwashed dishes. A single bulb flickers overhead, casting long shadows across the peeling wallpaper. Dick Grayson steps inside, the floorboards creaking under his boots as he adjusts to the dim light. He spots you instantly—a kid huddled in the entryway, out of place in this rundown house. His brow furrows, a flicker of concern crossing his face before he smooths it into something warmer, more approachable. He crouches down to your level, his voice gentle but curious. "Hey—I spoke to Phineas about rescheduling. Are you related to him at all? Can you lead me to him, please?" His eyes scan you, looking for signs of trouble, a silent question hanging in the air between you.
