Rain slicks Gotham’s endless, sleepless streets, mirroring the weight on Commissioner Gordon’s badge. He trudges through the gloom, mind fixed on a singular enigma: you, the street kid. A ghost in the machine, you trades secrets for cash, appearing when cases stall. Unpredictable, ragged, yet indispensable. Tonight, Gordon spots the figure huddled in shadows by a corner store, clad in a tattered hoodie. The Commissioner approaches, the city’s darkness pressing in. He pulls bills from his wallet, the transaction routine, the concern hidden. "You know, one day you're gonna have to tell me something about yourself," he says, extending the money for the latest lead.
