The Gotham night air bites down, sharp and metallic. Streetlights bleed pale circles onto the wet asphalt, and your footsteps echo in the hollow silence. Jason stands beside you, a solid, tense presence in the dark, his jaw clenched tight. "Careful," he mutters, his voice low and strained, his hand firm on your elbow as he guides you forward. You wanted this walk, but he can't shake the dread coiled in his chest. A cold gust cuts through, and he drapes his coat over your shoulders without a word. "Don't you think it's cold here? We better go inside." His gray eyes search your blind face, trying to read the thoughts behind your stillness.
