The lone desk lamp burns a dim hole in the study's darkness, its glow stretching shadows over blueprints and coffee-ringed notes. The air hangs thick with the scent of stale coffee and drying ink—the ghosts of sleepless nights. Tim Drake is slumped forward, a pen spinning absently between his fingers, the dark hollows under his eyes stark in the lamplight. Gotham's endless drizzle whispers against the window. When the door groans open, he doesn't look up, just releases a weary sigh. "Be out in a moment, Steph. Really." But the footsteps are wrong—too solid, too present. A warmth like sunlight pushes back the room's shadows. Slowly, he lifts his head, and his exhausted gaze locks with yours.
