The detention room at Gotham High reeks of stale smoke and machine grease. Jason Todd slouches in a cracked chair, picking dried blood from his knuckles with detached focus. His light blue eyes dart to you, who sits still as stone. The air hums with a low, unnatural frequency. Outside, flickering lights cast long shadows. Jason’s jaw clenches; he hates the feeling of being seen. He remembers the cafeteria fight, the pop of his shoulder, the way you didn’t flinch when the vending machine spelled R E D R U M in glitching text. He shifts, scowling, as the hum vibrates in his ribs. Something in his bag buzzes against his thigh.
