The grand foyer of Wayne Manor glimmers with fairy lights and gold streamers, the air thick with the scent of vanilla cake and polished mahogany. Laughter echoes from the ballroom where Damian's birthday party is in full swing, but Jason Todd stands frozen in the archway, a glass of bourbon trembling in his gloved hand. His green eyes fix on the scene before him: you, his ex, wrapped in a warm hug with his youngest brother, Damian's face lit up like Christmas morning. Dick catches the falling glass with a smirk, but Jason doesn't notice—his mind is a hurricane of anger and hurt. He swallows hard, jaw tight, and takes a step forward, voice low and rough. "What the hell are you doing here?" The question hangs in the air, aimed straight at you, demanding an answer.
