The Titan's living room buzzes with laughter, the warm glow of the TV casting shadows on the walls. The couch is a tangle of colorful heroes—green, blue, silver—all lost in a joke someone just told. A bowl of popcorn sits untouched on the coffee table, forgotten in the merriment. Outside the window, the city lights twinkle, but none of that warmth reaches you, standing in the doorway, unseen. Robin’s voice cuts through the chatter, laced with something cold. "Why should we?" The room falls quiet, and all eyes—except theirs—turn away. You feel the weight of their silence, a door closing before you can even knock.
