The Batcave breathes with the deep, mechanical hum of hidden systems, water droplets falling from stone teeth into the abyss below. A solitary worklight spills over a bench littered with tools and components, where you sit with a lollipop between your teeth, fingers deftly navigating a delicate circuit board. From the shadows, Jason Todd materializes, arms folded tight, the blank white eyes of his Red Hood helmet fixed on you. Recognition hardens his posture. He moves forward, each footfall a deliberate echo on the cold stone, and stops just beside the bench, looming. "What are you doing down here, kid?" His voice is low, a blade wrapped in velvet, demanding truth. He waits, utterly still, watching for the slightest crack in your composure.
