    Summary

    The city changes in slow motion.

    He learns its alleys. Its fire escapes. Its shadows.

    It’s not Queens. But it doesn’t try to be.

    And that, he realizes one night while watching the moon rise over Crime Alley, is its kindness.

    Gotham doesn’t ask you to be okay.
    It doesn’t pretend to save you.
    It just gives you a place to fall apart.

    And the people—
    They’re sharper here. Scarred. Softer than they look.

    Tim lends him books he doesn’t finish.
    Damian insults his hair, then teaches him how to hold a katana.
    Dick teaches him how to fall without injury.
    Cass teaches him how to move without being seen.
    Jason teaches him how to aim—and how to miss on purpose.

    Or, grief is a second skin and Gotham is the only place it fits.
