The fluorescent hum of the GCPD archives casts long, sterile shadows. Edward lingers in the periphery, a nervous silhouette against the filing cabinets. His eyes track your every move, darting away the moment your gaze sweeps near. Colleagues whisper of his instability, but you see only a trembling, desperate intellect. He watches, calculating, convinced that persistence will eventually shatter your indifference.
