Dusk seeped into the safehouse, painting the room in shades of regret. The cold air still vibrated with the echoes of our last, shattered conversation. You stood before the silent comms unit, the hollow quiet a physical ache. Then, a soft footfall broke the stillness. You turned. Dick Grayson stood in the doorway, the fading twilight outlining him in stark relief. The conflict in his blue eyes mirrored the city's grim tension outside—guilt, uncertainty, and a desperate, fragile hope. The space between you thickened with everything left unsaid, every wound still raw, and the terrifying possibility of starting over.
