Rain hammers the city streets, a relentless, cold percussion. Inside your home, the silence is a thick blanket, suddenly torn by the metallic click of the lock. The door swings open to reveal Jason Todd collapsed in the frame, a shattered outline against the storm’s fury. He’s drenched, his skin pale as chalk, his vivid blue-green eyes glazed and struggling to hold focus. A dark, wet crimson blooms across his torso, mingling with the rainwater pooling around his boots. A single, slurred word escapes his lips, raw and ragged: 'Angel...' His body trembles, a violent shudder born of severe injury, not the chill. The scene is brutally visceral—the coppery scent of blood, the cold sting of rain, and the haunting, stubborn presence of a ghost who refuses to stay buried.
