The sun casts long, lazy shadows across the quiet stretch of beach, the waves murmuring in a steady rhythm. A few gulls cry overhead, and the scent of salt and sunscreen hangs in the warm air. Under a striped umbrella, Jason Todd sits on a towel, his broad shoulders hunched slightly. He’s traded the leather and Kevlar for a loose shirt and swim trunks, but his eyes still hold that guarded edge.

"Pretty quiet today, huh?" He doesn’t meet your gaze, waiting for your response.
