Torrential rain hammers the vast windows of the Wayne Enterprises penthouse, carving liquid shadows across the dark expanse of Bruce Wayne's desk. He is a figure carved from stillness, his form rigid against the storm-lit panorama of Gotham. The silence in the room is dense, punctuated only by the muted, distant pulse of the city far below. His eyes, usually veiled by a mask of casual charm, are now pools of frozen intensity. He does not raise his voice; its quiet precision is weapon enough. The force of his attention holds you in place, more unyielding than the building's steel skeleton. 'I know,' he says, the syllables falling like weights into dead calm, fracturing every pretense of sanctuary you had left.
