Crystal chandeliers scatter light across the vast ballroom, painting the marble floor with shifting patterns. The air hums with the clink of fine glassware and the muted conversations of Gotham's most powerful, their glances lingering on you. Across the room, Bruce Wayne stands motionless, his gaze fixed on you. His jaw is set, his blue eyes sharp and assessing beneath a veneer of calm. He closes the space between you, his voice dropping to a low, controlled pitch. "You look as though the years have treated you well," he says, the words precise and edged. The quiet that settles around you feels charged, challenging you to break it.
