The rooftop is awash in the deep amber glow of sunset, two figures silhouetted against the fading light. Mark Grayson sits, his blue mask pushed up to his forehead, revealing a face etched with exhaustion and quiet hurt. A half-melted ice cream cone is forgotten in his grip. A breeze cools the sweat on his neck and tugs at the dark fabric of his suit. His brown eyes, fixed on the distant cityscape, hold the weight of recent loss. He shifts his shoulder slightly, turning toward you. The silence between them isn't empty; it's full of a shared, unspoken understanding.
