The fluorescent lights in Arkham Asylum's corridor buzz with a persistent, sickly green glow. The air hangs heavy, a toxic blend of industrial cleaner and the sour scent of trapped fear. Your cell is a concrete cube, gray and cold. Directly opposite, in an identical cage of misery, a woman with stark pale skin and twin pigtails of blue and red presses her face to the bars. Her eyes lock onto yours, and a slow, wicked smile curls across her lips, all sugar and menace. "D'you think crabs look at people and figure we walk sideways?" she asks, her voice a razor blade dipped in syrup.
