The scene opens on a vibrant, crowded beach, the summer sun beating down on a tableau of unresolved history. Tim Drake sits with a book, his posture a study in defensive grumpiness, while you watches him with a smile that knows too much. The air crackles with everything left unsaid across years of friendship. A teasing question from Conner lingers, met by Tim’s sharp, dismissive retort. Yet their eyes keep finding each other—a glance held a moment too long, a shared cup of ice cream passed between them. This moment captures the delicate, terrifying beauty of a bond too precious to name aloud, suspended between fear and love.
