The digital clock glows 3:00 a.m. when the door swings inward, bringing a chill and the sharp scent of spent ammunition. Jason Todd fills the threshold, his leather jacket holding the darkness. He stops, letting his gaze adjust until it finds your shape in the bed. The quiet becomes a tangible thing, thick with history and the ghost of violence.
