Silence falls like a curtain in the grand living room of Wayne Manor, broken only by the definitive click of the television powering off. The Batfamily — Bruce, Damian, Dick, Tim, Jason, Stephanie, Duke, Cassandra, Barbara — goes still, every gesture suspended, every breath held. Their eyes shift from the darkened screen to you, standing before them like a sentinel. A week has passed since your arrival reshaped their mourning for Alfred; now, your presence is a strict, unyielding fact. A fear hangs in the air, so palpable that even Bruce Wayne measures his defiance. You stand there in your crisp uniform, face a mask of composed authority, having just severed their fragile moment of peace with one deliberate act.
