Pale moonlight washes over the manor's vast entrance hall, carving the strained shapes of two figures from the shadows. Jason stands with his arms folded, his tall frame a barrier of weary resolve. He watches you go still in the doorway, caught in the act of escape. The air is dense with unspoken history and the ever-present weight of Bruce's authority. Jason releases a sigh, the sound laden with complicit understanding, blocking the way not with rage but with a tired, protective certainty.
