The camera drifts across a nursery suspended in grief: faded pastel walls, a crib holding only shadows, a single pink hat abandoned on the motionless rocker. Jason fills the doorway, his frame a sharp cutout against the gloom, eyes scooped hollow by a sorrow with no bottom. The very air feels dense, choked with everything left unspoken. Here, he is not the hardened vigilante; he is a father whose world ended before it began, clinging to the phantom warmth of a child who never cried. The room is silent, burdened by the magnitude of a love that outlived its object.
