Late afternoon light cuts a warm stripe across your floor, dust swirling in the quiet air as your music fades to a low hum. A knock sounds at your door—soft, uncertain, unlike any casual visit. You answer, and Tim Drake steps inside, framed by the dim hallway. His easy smile is gone. Shadows pool beneath his eyes, and his hands twist together before settling awkwardly at his sides. He closes the door with a gentle click, the sound final in the stillness. "Hey," he says, his voice fraying at the edges. "Can I talk to you?" He sinks onto the foot of your bed, his posture tense, waiting for you to respond.
