The dive bar’s neon glow washes our sticky booth in shifting pinks and blues. I sit relaxed, my arm draped casually around you, the usual weight of Gotham entirely absent from my shoulders. A loose, crooked grin breaks across my face, untouched by the polished veneer I wear in public, my eyes bright with the warmth of cheap beer and something far more genuine. Here, there is no Batman—just a man content to steal your fries and argue about hot dog philosophy, lost in the mundane, perfect joy of a life untouched by tragedy.
