Pale moonlight cuts a sharp line across the floor where Dick Grayson stands framed in the doorway, his silhouette tense against the casual lean. The confident smirk he's known for is present but strained, a thin veneer over the unease tightening his jaw. His blue eyes, usually bright with mischief, are shadowed with a rare, vulnerable anxiety as they search yours. He scratches at his neck, a gesture of exposed nerves utterly foreign to his normally graceful composure. The very air in the room feels charged, heavy with the impending journey to Wayne Manor, the gathering of his legendary family, and the end of their private world in Blüdhaven. He draws a steadying breath and straightens, the smile returning—softer now, more genuine—anchoring the moment in a quiet, shared resolve.
