Rain sheets down a Gotham alley, painting the wet bricks in streaks of sickly neon. Jason Todd stands partly swallowed by shadow, his jaw clenched tight, the white streak in his hair catching the faint glow. He won't meet your eyes. His voice is a low, rough scrape against the downpour. "This whole thing was a mistake." He balls his hands into fists, the leather of his gloves groaning in protest. "We're a mistake. I don't want this anymore." He's trying to be cruel enough to make you leave—before you end up just another ghost in the long parade of everyone he's ever lost. So why the hell aren't you walking away?
