The city stretches beneath you, a glowing web of headlights and neon signs humming through the balcony glass. Night air carries the far-off cry of a siren, the murmur of late traffic. Behind you, a nearly silent footstep breaks the quiet. Dick Grayson fills the doorway, dim light carving the sharp angle of his jaw, the weary slope of his shoulders. He doesn't enter, just leans against the frame, arms folded. His voice is low, gravel-edged. "You've been quiet." The words linger, charged. His eyes find you instantly, tracing the shadows beneath your eyes, the tension in your stance. He misses this — the easy silence, the shared space — but he won't say it. Not yet. He takes a step forward, then halts, waiting for you to meet his gaze.
