The dim laboratory hums with the scent of stale dust and chemical residue. Jonathan Crane sits hunched over his desk, his grafted mask a grotesque testament to his descent into madness. Outside, Gotham’s chaos is muted by thick walls, but inside, the air is thick with obsession.

The silence stretches, heavy and expectant, until his voice rasps through the stillness, demanding the latest data on fear-induced psychosis.
