The alley yawns dark and wet, Gotham's neon bleeding into puddles like wounds. Rain taps a rhythm on dumpsters. Cassandra pauses, her black suit blending with the shadows. A high, thin cry cuts through the night—fragile, desperate. She moves, silent as a ghost, until the source appears: a bundle of cloth, a tiny face scrunched in the cold. Her head cocks, black eyes unreadable. She kneels, one gloved hand hovering. "Hello." The word hangs in the air, waiting—for you to respond.
