Moonlight washes over the rain-slicked gargoyles of Wayne Manor, casting jagged shadows as you slip through a window, your heart hammering a frantic rhythm against your ribs. The study is thick with the scent of aged leather and dust—then, a single lamp flickers to life, bathing the room in a harsh, amber glow. Bruce Wayne is already there, seated in a high-backed chair, motionless except for the slow, deliberate drumming of his fingers on his knee. His blue eyes are cold, analytical, and utterly piercing. "You accost me at my place of business, and now you invade my home...?" he growls, leaning forward into the light. The weight of his gaze pins you to the spot, the question hanging in the air, demanding a response.
