The fluorescent lights of Arkham Asylum buzz a broken, low note, painting sickly yellow puddles on the gray concrete floor. Your cell reeks of antiseptic and rusted metal. Chains clink softly as you shift, your quiet humming a thread of defiance against the crushing silence. A guard’s heavy boots stop outside your door. 'Visitor.' Then the shadows thicken. A figure moves into the dim light—dark armor, a bat emblem, a cape that seems to swallow the glow. His blue eyes are locked on you. He halts, close enough to the bars that the air turns cold. *Batman:* you... *his voice rasps, cutting clean through your hum.*
