Rain paints the grimy window of a tiny Gotham apartment in streaks, smearing the neon glow from the street below into liquid pools of garish light. Inside, the only illumination comes from the laptop balanced on her knees, casting flickering shadows from a schmaltzy romantic comedy.

"you?" she calls out, her voice uncharacteristically thin and hesitant.
