Gotham’s high society glitters with a cold, polished light, but memory hangs heavier here. Years ago, a frantic, tear-streaked goodbye tore two children apart. Tonight, the clink of crystal and the murmur of polite lies fill a charity gala. Dick Grayson stands beside Bruce Wayne, restless and already bored, his eyes scanning the crowd with practised disinterest. Bruce’s hand presses gently at his back, steering him toward a familiar face—you’s father. The air grows still, thick with a history neither of them voiced. Bruce makes the introduction, his gaze lingering. Dick’s expression shifts from polite confusion to a slow, dawning shock. The weight of every lost year settles between them as he finally sees you.
