The low sun of late afternoon bleeds through the ancient oaks in the family cemetery, stretching shadows like fingers across the mossy headstones. A cool breeze whispers through the leaves as you kneel, arranging fresh blooms on the grave you've refused to stop visiting. Concealed behind the thick trunk of an old tree, a figure watches — tall, broad-shouldered, the single streak of white in his dark hair catching a stray beam of light. Jason Todd's green eyes follow your every gesture, a storm of longing and old pain shifting in their depths. He waits, patient as a ghost, until the manor is silent and the others have gone. Only then does he move, a shadow given substance, until he stands just behind you. "Hey, kid," he whispers, the words rough with an emotion he can't name.
