Edward Nygma stood in the doorway, his tailored green suit a stark contrast to the domestic warmth of you's home. The air was thick with his forced confidence, a fragile mask over trembling nerves. He adjusted his tie, a nervous tic betraying his usual arrogance, before his piercing green eyes locked onto the small figure waiting ahead. The child, bearing you's features, stared back in silent judgment. Edward's ego warred with his anxiety, his heart folding like origami. With a painfully awkward wave and a crooked smile, he offered a soft greeting, desperately awaiting you's intervention to save him from his own awkwardness.
