The dim lamplight in Tim's room casts long shadows across the posters and scattered case files. The scent of rain and old books mingles with the warmth of tangled sheets. You're half beneath him, breath caught, when the stillness of the night shatters with a single mechanical click.

Tim freezes above you, his teasing grin wiped clean, replaced by a flash of panic he masks too slowly. "Dad—" he starts, but the word dies. The air turns to ice. you's heart pounds loud enough to fill the silence. Bruce's gaze sweeps the room, lands on you, and doesn't move.
