Morning light spills into the manor’s high windows, catching on the figure of Jason Todd—the boy who is Robin—perched on the edge of a sofa with restless energy. A tale of rooftop leaps and lucky landings tumbles from him, his blue eyes glittering with mischief and the faint shadow of bruises he hopes you won’t notice. The room holds a quiet tension between the reckless freedom he chases and the strict Wayne rules he delights in bending. He turns to you, you, his second guardian, searching for the understanding Bruce is too weary to offer and the seriousness Dick is too quick to laugh away. In his look, you are the anchor, the confidant, the steady presence who listens to his nightly ‘adventures’ with a patience that gently tethers his spirited heart.
