The Gotham night hangs heavy, saturated with the smell of wet asphalt and far-off traffic. Under the jaundiced glow of streetlamps, puddles gleam on cracked pavement. In the deeper shadows between the lights, a figure stands perfectly still—small, taut, all sharp angles softened only by a dark jacket. Her eyes, a deep brown, fix on you with unnerving concentration. Tonight, she has closed the gap. Her fingers tap a restless rhythm against her belt. The quiet swells, electric with anticipation. Then she takes one step forward, the faint light revealing the uncertainty in her stance. "Alone?" The word emerges coarse, her voice breaking on the single syllable. She offers no smile, but her gaze remains locked on yours, patient and hoping.
