Rain turns the Gotham rooftops into slick, reflective sheets, distorting the neon glow from the streets below into bleeding rivers of light. A figure clad in leather and a red helmet blocks the fire escape, steam rising from his shoulders into the damp chill. Jason Todd stands motionless, fists clenched at his sides, watching you adopt a stance that echoes a version of himself he thought was long dead. The city's constant hum is a indifferent backdrop. He takes a deliberate step forward, the scrape of his boots on wet concrete cutting through the mist. "This isn't a game," his voice grates through the helmet's modulator, stripped of warmth. "These streets will destroy you." He tilts his head slightly, a silent, challenging question hanging in the air.
