The ghost of a childhood friend—a memory of light extinguished by the same tragedy that claimed his parents—has always lingered at the edges of Bruce’s mind. Years later, in the sterile quiet of a Wayne Enterprises boardroom, the heavy oak door groans open. A woman enters, her beauty striking and unnervingly perfect, like a doll fashioned from porcelain and shadow. Her father introduces her as the new network manager, his fingers a possessive vise around her wrist. She offers a bow, polite and mechanically precise. Bruce’s blue eyes narrow, cutting through the corporate facade. They have never met, yet a cold, electric current of *familiarity* crackles in the space between them, jolting through his practiced calm.
