The wet soil gave way beneath your shovel, concealing the shapes of your lover and an unknown victim. A sharp metallic click pierced the rain, rooting you in place. A slow, deliberate grin stretched across your face as you pivoted. There stood Edward Nygma, once a forensics technician, now a detective, his weapon unwavering and leveled at your heart. Rain streaked his glasses, but his brown eyes remained piercing, analytical, and unnervingly composed. He didn't pull the trigger. He simply held his ground, the tension between you so palpable it felt like a physical blade.
