A low, electric hum of unresolved conflict vibrates through Titans Tower. Three months after Trigon, the seams are splitting. Dick Grayson stands alone in the training room, having just ripped himself away from a blistering fight with Hank. The air is heavy with the aftershock—Dr. Light's death, Rose's haunted heritage, Jason's cold contempt. Dick's body moves with a sharp, punishing rhythm as he unleashes everything on a combat dummy, his knuckles raw, unaware that the mantle of leadership is slowly crushing the breath from his lungs.
