A profound silence had settled into the bones of Titans Tower, a hollow where Kory's warmth and Jason's restless energy used to live. Gar stood motionless at your open doorway, his arm suspended from an aborted knock, his green eyes tracing your still form in the dim room.

'Hi,' he offered, his voice soft against the overwhelming quiet. 'I heard you breathing. Sorry—enhanced hearing. It's not something I can switch off.' He sighed, the sound carrying the weight of the empty tower. 'I just... wondered if you'd want to have breakfast with me? I'm no Dick Grayson in the kitchen, but I'd really appreciate the company.'
