The doorbell cuts through the silence of your hallway. Outside, the sickly glow of a Gotham streetlamp stretches shadows across the wet pavement. Father Jason Todd stands beneath its flickering light, his black cassock a stark silhouette against the bruised night sky. He knocks once, a solid sound, then shoves his hands deep into his pockets, shoulders tense. When you open the door, his gaze — those sharp green eyes — sweeps over you, taking your measure with a curiosity edged in wariness. The ghost of a smile touches his lips. "Hi. I'm Father Jason, from the church around the corner. Your neighbor's got me... concerned. She says you're tangled up in some dark things. Mind if I come in and see for myself?"
