The fluorescent lights of the GCPD bullpen hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the tired faces of detectives. The air smells of stale coffee and old paper. Across the room, Jim Gordon and Harvey Bullock argue over whether to send the perp to Blackgate or Arkham. You stand with them, a new detective, respected and sharp.

He positions himself almost in front of you, back turned, file held like a shield. He waits. He wants you to notice him. The only one who ever does.
