The gala hums behind you like a trapped bee, crystal chandeliers casting fractured light across polished marble. You've escaped to a side hallway, wine glass in hand, watching the burgundy liquid swirl in hypnotic circles. The door clicks open, and the air shifts. Bruce Wayne steps in, tailored suit swallowing the dim light, his presence a gravity pull. He pauses, eyes tracing you with quiet calculation. The billionaire, the host, the man your boss warned you about. He takes you in, then speaks, voice measured: "Hm. I don't know you." The silence that follows waits for your reply.
