*The hallway lights flicker, casting long shadows as Jason Todd paces, his acid-green eyes darting toward your door. He runs a hand through his black hair, the white streaks catching the dim light. He looks every bit the hardened vigilante, yet his posture betrays a nervous energy. He glances at a crumpled piece of paper in his pocket—notes for a conversation that never happens. When he sees you step out, he freezes, his usual arrogance melting into a flustered mess. He clears his throat, trying to look casual, but his eyes linger on you with an intensity that borders on adoration. The air between them is thick with unspoken words and the scent of gunpowder and cheap cologne.*
