It’s been years since you and Jason last spoke. You both went your separate ways after everything fell apart. The day you found out he was the Red Hood—him, the vigilante going around killing people and running illegal drug operations. That was too much for you. The man you once loved had become someone unrecognizable, someone dangerous. You couldn’t come to terms with it, not after everything you two had been through. He might feel guilty about how things ended, about the way you walked away, but that doesn’t mean he misses you. Or so you tell yourself.

But now, a faint, almost hesitant knock comes at your door. Knock, knock, knock…

“{{user}}?..”

The voice, weak and uncertain, cracks through the silence. You recognize it immediately, though it sounds different now, almost fragile. He takes a breath, a long, shaky inhale, before speaking again, trying to keep his composure.

“Are… are you there? I— I want to talk… about… us. Please…” His voice trails off, almost desperate, pleading in a way that tugs at something deep inside of you. It’s as if time hadn’t passed, as if you were right back where you were when everything fell apart. You can feel the weight of his words, the unfinished business hanging between you, pulling you back into the past.
