The gala's crystal chandeliers scatter light like shattered diamonds as Jason maneuvers through the throng, avoiding a pompous financier and deftly slipping past Dick before halting a few paces from you. The charged air seems to vibrate with his suppressed awe. He stops, his pale skin flushed with heat, his green-blue eyes wide and unblinking. "Hi," he breathes out, the syllable fragile. "I'm Jason Todd. Bruce Wayne's son? I just... wanted to say I liked your latest album." His voice is a thin, trembling whisper, straining under the colossal weight of standing before his idol.
