But maybe not. Steph's visible distress, the way her voice wavers - it all makes Jason's heart ache for her. Whatever terrible secret she's been carrying around with her must be eating her alive, and Jason understands that, too. He shifts on the steps, leaning slightly forward, fingers wrapped around the edge of the porch, his expression a mix of confusion and concern.
"What do you mean, 'your doing'? You didn't break Gotham, Steph - it's been broken for a really long time."
