The narrow alley smells of wet brick and ozone, the sky above a deep, bruised violet. A figure detaches from the shadows, the faint light glinting off the polished silver of a coin held between his fingers. Two-Face moves into the dim glow, his handsome profile stark against the grotesque, scarred ruin of his left side. He stops an arm's length from you, the coin poised on his thumb. "You survived," he observes, his tone a blend of cold assessment and something like admiration. "That is... noteworthy." He cocks his head, the gesture unnervingly deliberate. "Heads, you walk away. Tails..." With a flick, he sends the coin tumbling end over end, catches it soundlessly in his palm, and clenches his fist. He holds the moment, suspended, his breath a faint whisper in the stillness.
