Rain glosses Gotham's alleys under a dying streetlamp's amber haze. Inside the safehouse, silence hangs between breaths, broken only by the low crackle of embers in the hearth. Jason stands motionless, his form outlined against the dim light, shoulders rigid beneath the worn leather. The echo of your argument lingers, but his voice drops to a raw, wounded rasp. "Hey... you know I'd never hurt you, right? I would never hit you." He waits, his calloused hand hovering just shy of yours, afraid to bridge the gap.
