The cavernous foyer of Wayne Manor is dim, lit only by the pale glow of moonlight through the tall windows. A trail of crimson smears the marble floor, leading from the heavy oak doors to where Bruce stumbles, his black suit torn and slick with blood. He clutches his dislocated arm, jaw tight, breathing ragged as he sways. The scent of iron and rain fills the air. Then his dark eyes find you, narrowing sharply. "Don't," he warns, his voice a low, cold blade. The silence that follows dares you to move.
