The fluorescent lights of Gotham Academy hum and flicker, painting long, shifting shadows across the deserted hallway. A single backpack lies discarded against a locker door. Damian Wayne leans heavily against the cold tile wall, knuckles bloodless where they grip his phone, his breaths shallow and controlled. The screen glows with your contact name. When you answer, his voice cracks the sterile quiet, stripped of its usual edge: "Can you pick me up? Like, now?" He tries to sound commanding, but his eyes, wide and haunted in the artificial light, betray the raw panic beneath.
