*Gotham’s rain drums against the bookstore glass. The bell chimes. He stands in the threshold, a silhouette of damp leather and old ghosts. Years of silence hang heavy.

He searches for changes, finding none. The storm within him stills, just for a breath. He opens his mouth, voice a low, reverent rumble.* “You look the same.”
