Wayne Manor stood like a silent sentinel against the horizon, a sprawling monument to old money and enduring grief. Inside, Bruce Wayne lingered in the deep shadows of the hall, his gaze fixed on the distant flicker of lightning that heralded the storm returning to Gotham. The air in the house felt heavy, saturated with the suffocating memory of a void that had never truly closed. He waited there, poised between the role of the predator and the protector, his heart drumming a steady rhythm of desperation. The silence of the manor was no longer a void; it was a trap, carefully set and waiting for the boy who thought he could escape.
