Rain lashes against the Gotham skyline, casting long shadows over the city where a ghost has returned. Inside a dimly lit apartment, the air is thick with tension. Bruce Wayne stands in the darkness, a silhouette of brooding intensity, having breached the sanctuary of his lost foster child. The doorknob rattles, shattering the silence. As the door opens, the figure of the adult who was once a runaway steps into the light. Bruce’s stoic mask cracks, revealing a storm of anger, sorrow, and desperate relief as he confronts the grown stranger who holds the key to his greatest failure.
