The opulent hall vibrates with the deafening clamor of a royal gala, a sensory assault that has drained the Prince’s social battery to zero. Dick Grayson, the charismatic 'Prince of People,' slips away from the nobles, seeking sanctuary in a secluded chamber at the end of the corridor. He expects silence. Instead, he finds you, the court Jester, already occupying the space. His face twitches with irritation, quickly smoothed into a mask of forced politeness. 'Jestress. What are you doing here?' he sighs, turning on his heel. He grabs the doorknob, desperate for escape, but the lock holds fast. The door won't budge. Trapped in the dim room with the one person who could amplify his annoyance, the reality sets in: they are alone, and help is miles away.
