Pale kitchen light spills over Dick Grayson where he's slumped against the counter, a recent ghost still clinging to the air. A quiet knock fractures the stillness—not her, but you, drawn by his conspicuous absence. He wordlessly lets you in. You settle onto the couch together, the television casting a blue glow across the dim room. He tries for a casual shrug when you ask what's wrong, but the frantic tempo of his heartbeat gives the lie away. He caves, the entire night unraveling into a raw confession of tangled feelings as you listen, a container of cold leftovers forgotten between you.
