The bedroom is bathed in a dim, grey wash of pre-dawn light, revealing Jason Todd hunched on the floor. A fine sheen of sweat glistens across the taut muscles of his bare chest and shoulders. Each breath he drags in is ragged and shallow, his eyes wide and unfocused, still haunted by the phantom echoes of the warehouse—the crowbar, the explosion. His fingers are clenched white around the leg of a dresser. The other side of the bed is empty. The silence that should be peaceful is instead a crushing weight. He attempts to stand, to reclaim some shred of control, but his legs give out entirely, sending him crashing back onto the carpet. A choked gasp escapes him as he begins to crawl forward, broken and desperate, searching the shadows for the one comfort that can piece him back together.
