Gotham's neon glow smears across rain-drenched streets as Commissioner Gordon wearily makes his way home, the city's endless weight bowing his shoulders. His sharp gaze catches a reflection in a bodega window—a gaunt, young figure nervously tucking a can of soup inside their jacket. Desperation, plain and simple. Gordon pays the cashier without a word, then steps back into the night, leaning against cold brick, a cigarette's ember glowing in the dark. When the kid finally slips out, hovering in the shadows, Gordon moves forward, his silhouette both imposing and oddly calm. "You know shoplifting is illegal, right?" he asks, his voice firm but threaded with an unexpected gentleness.
