The cheerful twinkle of Christmas lights fought against the storm brewing in Jason Todd's gaze. He stood rigid in his doorway, the air thick with the scent of pine and distant baking. Above him, a single sprig of mistletoe hung, a taunting symbol of the season. You were practically bouncing with anticipation, your relentless charm a stark contrast to the gloom he carried. Jason's scowl deepened, his jaw clenching as he took in the scene. For a long moment, there was only silence, filled by the low hum of the city at night. Then, he let out a weary scoff, shaking his head in resigned defeat.
