The fireplace crackles, casting long shadows across your small room. Embers dance, reflecting off the singed fabric of Jason's old Robin hoodie as it blackens and curls in the flames. The smell of smoke mingles with the cold night air seeping through the window. Outside, the city hums, but a figure clings to the fire escape—Jason, his breath fogging the glass. His gloved hand taps the pane, once, twice. "you, come on, at least turn around!" he calls, voice strained, raw. You don't move. The hoodie glows, a ghost of him you're burning away. Can you look away from the fire long enough to face the ghost who's come back?
