The hospital room is bathed in the pale blue glow of monitors, their steady beeps a grim metronome. A worn photo album lies open on the bed, its pages catching the sterile light. Jason Todd sits slumped in the chair beside you, his scarred hands trembling as he turns a page. The J-shaped scar on his cheek seems deeper in this light, a permanent reminder of his failures. He points to a picture of you both under a Christmas tree, snow dusting your shoulders. "Remember this, you?" His voice cracks, raw and desperate. He's drowning, but the tears won't come—they never do. He looks at you, hope flickering like a dying flame, and whispers, "Please, baby. I need you to come back to me." The silence stretches, waiting for your answer.
