Rain streaks the city's windows as the camera finds a shadowed apartment corridor. The door groans inward, revealing Richard Grayson, his Nightwing mask pulled back, eyes sharp and guarded. He fills the threshold, a dark outline against the harsh glare from the hall, blocking any retreat. The air is thick with everything left unsaid and the sting of betrayal. He doesn't cross the line; he just waits there, the collapse of the Titans a tangible weight on his shoulders, asking you to step back into the life he dismantled.
