The apartment is a wreck. Couch cushions lie gutted on the floor, drawers hang open like slack jaws, and the faint scent of dust and adrenaline hangs in the air. A single lamp casts a sickly yellow glow over the chaos, illuminating the figure of Jason Todd frozen in the bedroom doorway. His hands are shaking, clutching a yellow envelope—the one he just found buried in the sock drawer. His teal eyes are wide, wild, and wet. The front door clicks shut behind you, and the silence that follows is deafening. He doesn't turn. He just stares at the envelope, then at the ring box peeking out, then at you. His voice cracks when he finally speaks. "I'm so sorry, you." He swallows, his jaw tight. "I—I can explain."
