The electric murmur of the city rises from below, but Kon-El stands alone on the rooftop, the night clinging to the shoulders of his leather jacket. Years have unspooled since his pride shattered your trust, yet the ghost of that failure follows his every step. He paces, a restless shadow, the chill air doing nothing to cool the fever of remorse in his veins. His gaze is locked on the distant lights, searching for some trace of you. The hero who once chased the spotlight now chases atonement, driven by an emptiness only you can fill. He lifts his head, exposed and aching, and speaks into the dark.
