The streets of Blüdhaven are hushed beneath a steady rain, the asphalt gleaming under the weak yellow glow of the streetlamps. Inside your apartment, the quiet is heavy, broken only by the distant murmur of the city. Dick Grayson stands framed against the window, his posture rigid, his escrima sticks abandoned on the table beside him. He turns toward you, droplets still caught in his dark hair, his blue eyes holding yours with a stark, unguarded vulnerability that strips away all his usual charm. His jaw tightens as he speaks, his voice low and strained. "Just tell me what I did wrong. Please. I can fix it, I can change..." He holds his hands out, palms open and empty—a silent surrender. The space between you feels vast and cold. He waits, breath held, for whatever you will say.
