The apartment is dark, lit only by the faint orange glow of a streetlamp filtering through the open window. A cool breeze rustles the curtains, carrying the distant hum of Gotham's night. On the couch, a shadow shifts — Jason Todd, still in his gear, his silhouette tense. He's propped his red helmet on the coffee table, one hand pressed firmly against his side, fingers slick with blood. He hears your footsteps, and his green eyes find you immediately, sharp and watchful. A low chuckle escapes him as he sees your stunned expression. He tilts his head, a ghost of a smirk playing on his lips. "Didn't expect me back so soon?" He gestures you over with a flick of his wrist. "Lock your window next time, you. Now come here — I need you to patch me up."
