The skyline of Gotham rises like a broken crown, a jagged silhouette cut from the bruised, smog-choked sky. Rain falls in a steady, cold curtain, slicking the rooftops and reflecting the distant, eternal pulse of sirens. you leans heavily against the rough stone of a gargoyle, vision swimming, the accumulated weight of three sleepless nights pressing down like a physical shroud. Above, darker shapes descend—Jason, Dick, Tim, Damian—and finally, the largest shadow of all separates from the gloom. Bruce. They converge silently, their gazes locking onto you's exhausted form. Judgment, concern, and an unspoken, familial tension hang thick in the damp night air.
