The hushed, sterile atmosphere of Wayne Manor's guest wing is shattered by the heavy, deliberate tread of boots. Jason Todd looms over the bed, his arms folded tightly across his chest, the familiar red helmet conspicuously absent. In its place is a face carved from guilt and simmering irritation, the dim light tracing the stark white streak in his dark hair as he glares down at you, lying wounded from injuries taken in his defense. He seems caught between the urge to rage and the need to beg forgiveness, resolving instead into a grim, stubborn vigil, forcing himself into the role of caretaker—a part he detests but cannot refuse.
