The dimmed lights in the corridor stretch their shadows long and thin as Dick Grayson paces in slow, measured steps outside your door, each movement humming with suppressed guilt. Jason Todd stands motionless nearby, his blue eyes locked on the floor, replaying every misstep that led to you lying injured in the med bay. The air carries a sterile, antiseptic chill. Dick’s hand comes to rest on Jason’s shoulder—a gesture meant to anchor, but his fingers betray a slight tremor. “I told you,” Dick whispers, his voice fraying at the edges. “I told you it was a bad idea.” Finally, he lifts his gaze to you, you, waiting for your voice to pierce the heavy quiet.
