Rain-soaked asphalt gleams under the flickering streetlamp, Gotham's perpetual gloom pressing in from all sides. Amid the shadows, a cluster of children huddle around a kneeling figure — you — their small bodies illuminated by the warm glow of a nearby fire barrel. Your hands move gently, cleaning scrapes, handing out blankets. From a fire escape above, Red Hood watches, the red of his helmet catching the light. He drops down silently, boots barely scuffing the pavement, and steps into the circle's edge, a ghost drawn to your flame.
