paradisa | ─ one hundred & forty-one

[ This isn’t right.

Uru stares with uncertainty into the empty room. Her head is trying to process what exactly is going on. Everything that belonged to either Damian or Dick was gone. Instead of the familiar arrangements of furniture and whatever else is supposed to be in here, there’s nothing. It’s reverted back to a standard Paradisan room, as if nobody had ever once inhabited it. Every trace of proof that Damian Wayne lived here... gone.

She manages to get out her journal, tearing her gaze away from this emptiness. Desperately, her eyes scour the journal, flipping the page slowly at first before she picks up the pace and tries to find his handwriting or hear his voice.

Again, there’s nothing.

She ends up blurting it out without thinking: ]

Damian’s gone.

[ Her heartbeat begins to race. There’s an unwanted surge of emotion in her chest and making its way down into her stomach, but she pretends it isn’t there, because this is all just a mistake. ]

I mean— I can’t find him. [ A beat. ] But this has happened before. His room, it... it was just a loss. It—

[ She abruptly cuts herself off. ]

How long have you been here...?

A little over two years now.

You must have known Damian and Steph for awhile...

They're my best friends here.

I'm sorry. Steph's still around, at least...? [He doesn't necessarily like being alone, but he's been on his own before so he can deal with it if it happened. Someone else, though... And if she's been here for awhile, she must have seen a lot of people come and go by now.]

Mm! She's still here. She came with me to check the room and Batroom.

... You know about the Batroom? [Red alerts are going off.]

[ DID SHE REALLY JUST... ]

Oh...

I've never told anyone! I swear!

I'd never give away any of your secrets!

And what secrets, exactly, do you know?

Um...

Wait, no! How do I know this isn't someone pretending to be Tim?!

I don't think the filter is supposed to work is I'm not really Tim.

It's happened before.

Stephanie knows you know about the Batroom?

[ Awkwardly: ]

Yes... but I've never been there before today. [ Then a little defiantly: ] We just wanted to make sure!

Who told you about it?

I-- I don't remember? Maybe Steph?

I'll speak to her about it then.

[He doesn't like other people giving away the family secret! XD]

[ Uru's just nosy!! ]

It's not her fault, Tim! I've always been the one to ask Damian, Steph, and even Jason when he was here about it!

And they just... told you?

Yes?

Kind of?! But it was all between friends!

[He lets out a long suffering sigh.]

You've never told anyone else? They trusted you? And still trust you?
