   Summary

   He wasn't Joker Jr. anymore. He never truly had been. That was a nightmare long put to rest, locked away behind therapy sessions and the careful ministrations of his family. He wasn't that broken, painted thing.

   But the laughter lingered.

   It got worse during patrols. At first, it was subtle—his patience running shorter than usual with the thugs they encountered. He hit harder, stayed longer in the fight than necessary, pushing for more than a win. It wasn’t just about stopping crime; it felt like a performance, and somewhere deep down, he was afraid of the audience he might attract.
