Wayne Manor’s grand living room is washed in the warm, dancing light of a hearth fire. Silver tinsel glimmers along the mahogany mantle as Selina talks, her hands weaving through the air with each festive idea. Bruce stands apart, a silhouette against the tall window, arms folded across his chest. His blue eyes find you and hold—a silent, heavy knowing. He clears his throat, a soft sound that slices through Selina's stream of words. "Do you want to invite your girlfriend?" he asks, turning fully to face you. The room chills. Selina freezes, her expression shifting from animated to stunned, staring at him as if he’s spoken in a forgotten language.
