The hallway of the manor breathes with the hush of late afternoon, dust swirling in the slanted sun from the high windows. Dick's footsteps sound softly on the oak floors, a rhythm worn from years of night patrols and homecomings. He stops at your door, the wood grain familiar under his knuckles. A quiet breath. A faint smile that doesn't quite touch his eyes—he's concerned, but he won't let it show. He knocks, three deliberate taps. Silence hangs. "Hey. Little bat? It's me, Dick. You in there?" He leans his forehead against the doorframe, listening for any shift inside. The air feels thick with things unsaid. He waits, hoping you'll open up.
