Gotham’s rain-slicked streets swallow sound, leaving only the whisper of your own footsteps as you walk, a notebook pressed to your chest. The collision is sudden—a solid form, a hot spill, the bitter scent of coffee blooming in the air. The man—Bruce—looks down at the dark stain spreading across his suit jacket. He sighs, a quiet, contained sound. Then he bends, his movements fluid and unhurried, gathering your scattered papers from the glistening cobblestones. His fingers are careful as he retrieves them, and when he straightens, his blue-gray eyes hold yours for a weighted second before he offers the pages back. His posture is an unspoken question, poised between apology and assessment.
