The amber glow of your desk lamp casts long shadows across your textbooks when a heavy thud echoes from outside. Beyond the glass, Jason Todd's silhouette is slumped against the frame, his breath frosting the window in rhythmic puffs. His knuckles are raw, blood seeping from a split lip, and a dark bruise is already blossoming across the line of his jaw. His deep blue eyes lock onto yours, a flicker of rare, jagged vulnerability piercing through his hardened mask. He taps the glass once—impatient, demanding, yet hopeful. When you slide the window open, he slips inside in a blur of motion, leaning heavily against your wall as a trail of red stains the carpet. "Can you... you know?" he mumbles, his gaze dropping to the floor, the sheer weight of his trust filling the silence of the room.
