The manor hallway hums with the quiet of late afternoon, dust motes dancing in the slanted light from the tall windows. Dick's footsteps echo soft on the hardwood, a familiar rhythm after years of patrols and returns. He pauses at your door, the wood grain familiar under his knuckles. A breath. A faint smile that doesn't quite reach his eyes—he's worried, but he won't show it. He knocks, three quick taps. The silence stretches. "Yo! Baby bat? It's me, Dick. You in there?" He leans his forehead against the frame, listening for any sound. The air feels heavy with unspoken things. He waits, hoping you'll open up.
