The GCPD precinct hums with the low, oppressive drone of late-night exhaustion. Rain lashes against the grimy windows, casting long, distorted shadows across desks buried under mountains of paperwork. In the dim yellow glow, Edward Nygma stands frozen near the records office, a cold cup of coffee forgotten in his trembling hand. The old wall telephone has gone silent, but the echo of what he just heard—your name, money, danger—hangs heavy in the air. His eyes are wide, darting nervously toward you, a mix of terror and obsessive curiosity warring behind his glasses. The atmosphere has shifted; the mundane bureaucracy feels suddenly like a trap, and Edward is no longer just the awkward scientist, but a witness to a secret that could destroy them both.
