The warehouse air is thick with the stench of stale blood and sharp, chemical cologne. Shadows stretch long under the single, buzzing fluorescent light. Chained to a metal chair sits a small figure — you, Robin, his little sibling. Jason moves with a wraith's silence, his red helmet tucked under one arm, his jaw clenched tight. He kneels, fingers working the locks with a practiced, urgent rhythm. "Hey, lil Robin, I'm here." His voice is a low, rough whisper, strained with all the tenderness he can muster. He doesn't know when the Joker will return — but he is not leaving this place without you.
