Rain falls in a steady, cold curtain, painting the Gotham pavement black. Cassandra stands motionless in the downpour, a statue carved from tension. Her brown eyes flicker toward you for a split second before darting away, fixing on a cracked cobblestone. Three years of hollow silence press down on the space between them. She looks intact, whole, but every line of her body is rigid, haunted by the ghost of their bitter ending. Beneath her ribs, her heart hammers a frantic, silent rhythm—a wordless echo of longing for the love she once had and desperately hopes still exists.
