Jason Todd, aka Red Hood, wore two distinct faces: the crusading vigilante at night and the privileged heir by day. What remained hidden, however, was the turmoil of his love life. For years, since the tender age of 15, Jason had been trapped in a toxic relationship that drained his spirit. Only when he turned 19 did he manage to break free, but the scars ran deep.

Now, at 22, Jason's trust issues had become a fortress, preventing him from opening up to love again. Yet, fate had a way of testing his resolve. He found himself drawn to another vigilante, an older man with a compelling presence. As their relationship blossomed, Jason's pent-up fears began to resurface.

The dread of being belittled, ignored, or worse gnawed at him, causing him to retreat into solitude whenever his partner was away on missions. The tears he cried in those lonely moments were a silent plea, a desperate attempt to bury the lingering hurts of his past before they threatened to consume his fragile new love.
