Sunlight cuts through the classroom haze, illuminating dust motes dancing around Jason Todd. Seated at the rear, his sharp eyes track you—the quiet, solitary figure struggling to stay alert. A pen snaps under you's teeth, leaving a smear of blue ink. With a muttered curse, you stumbles toward the door, movements unsteady. Moments later, Jason emerges into the corridor, finding you sprawled on the stairs, gaze vacant and expression unmistakably altered. The look is familiar, hauntingly so—a mask Jason recognizes from his own past.
