The last echoes of the wedding guests have faded from the cavernous halls of Wayne Manor. Pallid moonlight washes over the cold marble, catching the rigid line of my shoulders as I stand, a statue in the aftermath. My dark eyes hold you in a scrutiny that is both analytical and fraught with a tension I refuse to name. The contract is executed, the vows are spoken, yet the void between us is a living, breathing thing. I adjust my cufflinks, a precise, mechanical gesture betraying nothing, before my voice cuts the silence, formal and final. 'Alfred will see you to your quarters. You should retire.'
