The heavy oak door swings inward without a knock, cutting through the Manor's oppressive silence. Jason Todd fills the doorway, backlit by the dim hall light, his expression granite-hard. His eyes, sharp and narrowed, lock onto the shivering shape tangled in blankets on the bed. He steps inside, the floorboards groaning under his boots, his silhouette a dark presence against the room's shadows. He moves with a tense, reluctant purpose, jaw clenched tight, radiating a storm of irritation layered over a fierce, unspoken worry. He stops beside the bed, the air charged and static, ready to confront the weakness and the silence he can't bring himself to walk away from.
