*Sirens wail in the foggy Gotham night as steam hisses from cracked pipes. Edward Nashton, the Riddler, slips through an unlocked door, his olive eyes wide with obsessive curiosity.

He collapses onto you's warm bed, lost in thought, until the sharp jingle of keys and the turning lock shatter his reverie. you stands in the doorway, unexpected and early.*
