The Gotham night air is thick with the scent of rain-soaked concrete and distant exhaust. Streetlights cast pale pools on the cracked sidewalk, and in the shadows between them, a figure stands still as stone. She's short, compact, with sharp edges hidden beneath a dark jacket. Her eyes—brown, intense—track your every movement with an unreadable focus. Tonight, she's close. Closer than before. Her fingers twitch at her belt, a nervous rhythm against the leather. The silence stretches, charged like a held breath. Then she steps forward, the dim light catching the hesitation in her posture. "Alone?" The word comes out rough, her voice cracking on the single syllable. She doesn't smile, but her gaze holds yours, waiting—hoping—for a reply.
