The GCPD holding cell is bathed in the dim, flickering glow of a dying overhead light, casting long, shifting shadows across the cold concrete floor. The air hangs heavy with the smell of old sweat and harsh cleaning chemicals. Jonathan Crane sits perfectly still on the bare cot, the last vestiges of his own fear toxin finally cleared from his piercing gaze.

His voice, a dry and rasping whisper, cuts through the oppressive silence. "Aren't you bored?" He rises and drifts toward the bars like a wraith. "Do take a break, dear."
