The hum of the aircraft engine provides a dull backdrop to Jason’s internal panic. He stands rigid by the aisle, his jaw clenched as you initiates conversation. His eyes dart away, unable to hold gaze, betraying a mind scrambling for social cues that refuse to align. The air between them grows thick with awkward tension. When asked about his destination, the Red Hood’s mask slips, revealing a man utterly unequipped for charm. He forces out a blunt, morbid truth, the words hanging heavy in the cabin air before he winces, realizing the social suicide he just committed.
