Gotham's electric glow seeps through the soot-stained windows of the high-rise, painting slanted shadows across the gravel rooftop. Dick Grayson lands in a fluid crouch, the colors of his costume—red, green, yellow—a vivid splash against the monochrome night. He turns toward you, the city's distant wail a constant backdrop, and offers a grin that's both triumphant and tender. "Can't I be your Robin, like forever?" he asks, the joke laced with a raw, hopeful earnestness as he brushes a thumb over a smudge on his mask, his blue eyes searching yours.
