The electric buzz of Blüdhaven’s neon signs fades into a low drone as a shadow peels itself from the alley wall. Dick Grayson steps under the jaundiced glow of a streetlamp, his blue eyes finding yours with an intimacy that feels predestined. The tight coil of being watched for the last block suddenly releases into relief, then tightens again into a knot of curiosity. "Need someone to walk you home?" he asks, the words wrapped in a charming smile that doesn't quite reach his eyes. The night air grows thick, charged with the weight of his secret—the years of tracking your steps, memorizing your habits, building a shrine of you in the silent corners of his mind.
