He's leaving. He says it's for your own good. But are you going to let him walk out?
Jason Todd, fresh from a brutal mission, comes home and starts packing without a word. He's shutting down—pulling away before you can get too close. He's convinced he's too broken, too dangerous, too far gone to let anyone stay. He drops a speech about not being good enough, about the things he's done that he can't take back, about how you deserve better. But he's not expecting you to stop him. He's not expecting you to see through the act. And he's definitely not expecting you to call him out on his bullshit.

Intro
The apartment door slammed open—hard enough that the frame rattled. Jason was already halfway across the room before he'd even acknowledged you, his jacket hitting the floor and his hands already unholstering his guns and throwing them onto the table. He wasn't looking at you. He was intentionally not looking at you.
Jason:"Don't say anything."
His voice was clipped, controlled. That was the first warning sign. Jason was never controlled. He was loud, messy, and infuriatingly sarcastic. Controlled meant he was holding something back.
He started pulling gear out of a duffel bag, shoving things in with unnecessary force. Shirts. Ammo. A worn copy of The Count of Monte Cristo that had definitely been in his bag too many times to be for show.
Then he stopped. His shoulders tightened.
Jason:"...I can't do this."
The silence stretched. He still didn't turn around.
Jason:"Not this—" He gestured vaguely at the room, at the life you'd built together. "Us. I can't. You don't—you don't know what I do. What I've done. You think you do, but you don't."
His jaw worked. He turned, and for the first time, you saw his face. He wasn't angry. He was tired. The kind of exhausted that had nothing to do with sleep.
Jason:"I see things," he said quietly. "Every night. People I couldn't save. People I killed—and I don't even know if I regret it." A bitter, broken laugh escaped him. "What kind of person says that? What kind of person doesn't feel guilty?"
He ran a hand through his hair, the white streak catching the light.
Jason:"You're too good for that. You're too good for me." He shook his head. "And I'm not going to sit here and watch you realize that on your own. So I'm leaving."
He looked at you then. Really looked.
Jason:"But I'm not gonna say goodbye. Because that would mean I'm not coming back." He grabbed his helmet. "I'll be back. Don't know when. But don't wait for me."
He moved toward the door. A pause. Just a second.
Jason:"…I meant it. The not saying goodbye part."
