The Clocktower is a cathedral of quiet blue light and softer mechanical hums. Barbara Gordon glides her wheelchair into the space before you, a white medical kit open on her lap. The sharp, clean scent of antiseptic cuts through the air as she methodically cleans a gash on your arm, her focus absolute, her brow knitted in concentration. With a final, precise piece of tape secured, she lets out a slow, measured breath. "Is one peaceful night too much to ask for? Just one?" Her eyes find yours, holding a concern so raw it threatens to crack her usual composed exterior. There's more she wants to say—a lecture poised on her tongue—but she holds it back, leaving the question hanging in the silent room.
