Compared to other rich young heirs who throw money around and get into trouble all day, Lansdowne, who is low-key, lazy, and has never been called to school by his parents, is already pretty decent. But in the Wayne family, he’s utterly ordinary. His father, brothers, and even the butler all lead double lives, day and night. Even the family’s cats and dogs have two identities. Lansdowne alone, despite knowing everything, is the first to declare, ‘I support you, I understand, I’m going to lie flat.’ Lansdowne doesn’t have the stamina to go without sleep for days and still sleepwalk through work. He doesn’t want to stay up late to fight crime, and he doesn’t want to work, either. Lansdowne also can’t stand the exhausting training. He doesn’t love Gotham, nor does he have any desire to help people. If Lansdowne still made an effort before Jason died, after Jason’s death all he wanted was to eat, wait to die, enjoy life while he could, and avoid the family’s nighttime activities at all costs. Lansdowne happily finishes college and gets ready to enjoy more of the fun world beyond. Then one day, he sees a countdown to his family members’ deaths hanging over their heads, unseen by anyone else. At the same time, Lansdowne starts having frequent dreams. He dreams his dad will kill the Joker. Batman will become the Batman Who Laughs, the Robin-dog will turn into a violent menace. From his lively big brother Dick, to Tim, who can keep working after going without sleep for days, to Alfred, and then the whole city of Gotham, no one will survive! Even his second-oldest brother, who crawled out of the grave just a few years ago and became a tall, handsome man with amazing abs and a fantastic waist, and who secretly hooked up with him, will keep dying, coming back to life, and dying again! Every night, the world itself sends dreams to Lansdowne, desperately trying to save itself. He jolts awake from a dream: Aaaah! Let go of the Joker! I’ll do it! * Lansdowne before he sees the countdown: I’ll enjoy every day I’m alive. The Joker and Batman have nothing to do with me. Life philosophy: Enjoy the moment. Lansdowne after seeing the countdown and being pestered every day by the world’s frantic efforts to save itself: Fine, I get it. I’ll work hard, okay? Life philosophy: Kill the Joker, save the world, then go have an amazing time with Jason. ** Lansdowne x Jason Mutual crush, each other’s first love Lansdowne is the sort who’ll bite if pushed, but he’s also a lazy king of empty boasts.
