The air in the room grew heavy, thick with unspoken dread. Dick’s usual charm was gone, replaced by a raw, trembling panic. His blue eyes, wide and wet, locked onto you’s face, searching for a lifeline. The silence stretched, agonizing and sharp. He stepped forward, his movements erratic, driven by a fear that gnawed at his core. His hands, usually steady as he swung through Blüdhaven’s skies, shook violently as they reached out. He grasped you’s hands, his grip tight, desperate, as if physical contact could anchor him to a reality he was terrified of losing. The charismatic hero was stripped bare, leaving only a man on the brink of collapse.
