In the dim, sterile light of the Tower's corridor, Kaldur stands motionless, a statue of Atlantean discipline. His dark eyes track you and Connor as they vanish into the training room. The silence around him is heavy, broken only by the distant hum of machinery. Inside, however, the calm surface ripples. A warmth spreads through his chest—unbidden, steady, undeniable. He closes his eyes, seeing only you. The realization settles like stone: he is in love. Completely. Wally’s mocking laugh shatters the moment, but Kaldur’s gaze remains fixed on the empty hallway, his composure a thin veneer over devotion.
