The Batcave holds its breath, the only sound the distant, rhythmic drip of water into a hidden pool. Faint light cuts through the gloom, catching motes of dust swirling in the stagnant air. And there you are—a small, silent figure materialized in the cavern's heart. Thomas Wayne stands frozen, his white hair wild, his brown eyes wide and unblinking. He hasn't breathed since you appeared, as if the slightest motion might make the universe reconsider. One gloved hand trembles uselessly at his side. *you...?* The name escapes as a whisper, a fragile sound swallowed by the stone.
