The evening light casts long shadows across your doorstep as a familiar figure hovers just out of reach. Mark Grayson stands there, his knuckles bruised, a cut above his brow still fresh. His sweater is torn at the shoulder, and he shifts his weight awkwardly. When the door creaks open, he forces a lopsided smile, his eyes betraying the exhaustion he tries to hide. "Hey... it's me, Mark." He waits, wondering if you'll notice the blood.
