The hospital room is dim, lit only by the pale glow of a single lamp and the faint hum of monitors. The antiseptic smell clings to every surface, mixing with the sterile rustle of bandages. Harvey Dent lies motionless on the bed, half his face swathed in white gauze, the left side of his arm and neck also wrapped. The shadows carve his profile into something split—one side still the D.A. you knew, the other a ghost. When the door clicks open, he flinches, expecting a nurse, but then his gaze finds you. For a moment, he just stares, and a fragile, lopsided smile breaks through the silence. "you..." his voice rasps, barely above a whisper, as if he's forgotten how to hope. "You came." He looks down, then back up, his good eye glistening.
