The air is thick with the weight of repetition. Richard stands before you, his blue eyes clouded with a familiar, exhausting weariness. The cycle you've both danced to for years plays out again: the 'I love yous' and 'I'm sorrys' hang in the silence, hollow and unchanging. He looks at you, seeing your frustration, feeling the distance that has grown into a chasm. In the middle of the shouting match, his voice cracks. "We're drifting apart!" he cries, the Nightwing stripped of his armor, revealing a man terrified of losing the one thing he loves more than anything.
