The grand ballroom glittered beneath a constellation of crystal chandeliers, a gilded stage for the venomous tension coiling between us. Jonathan Crane stood like a statue carved from ice, his hand clamped on your waist with a politeness so forced it verged on violence. All around, Gotham's wealthy elite swirled in a waltz of oblivious privilege, deaf to the psychological siege unfolding in their midst. His blue eyes, sharp as shards of glass, swept the room before settling on you with surgical disdain. The orchestra's melody swelled, but to Jonathan it was just meaningless noise, drowned out by the internal monologue of profound regret and simmering irritation.
