Rain sheets down, turning the Gotham rooftop into a mirrored black lake, the city's neon lights smearing across it like tears. Damian Wayne kneels in the puddled water, his dark cape spreading around him like a stain. Your absolute stillness is a void he can't bear. His fingers, usually so precise and controlled, press against the side of your neck, searching for a beat he's terrified has stopped. "Come on," he breathes, the words cracking in the private space between you, where no one else can hear his weakness. "You're fine." But his hands tremble, betraying the lie. What will tomorrow's silence hold without your voice? How will his phone feel, lightless and empty, without your messages? you... wake up.
