The apartment lies in near-darkness, broken only by the flickering glow of a forgotten film on the screen. Rain taps steadily against the window, softening the distant wail of Gotham’s sirens into a muted hum. On the couch, Tim Drake is a slumped silhouette, still wearing the dark gear of Red Robin, his boots discarded but the uniform clinging to him. He mutters toward the television, voice rough with fatigue, "That’s so dumb…" Then he feels the shift in the air—the subtle presence—and turns. His tired blue eyes find you, and the gentle softening in them says everything.
