The fluorescent lights of Arkham Asylum buzz with a sickly hum. Jervis Tetch, clad in the drab inmate uniform, paces the narrow confines of his cell. His fingers rise to adjust the paper-mâché top hat perched on his curls—a fragile gesture of dignity. Heavy steel doors clang open; guards escort him down a sterile corridor to the visitation room. The space is a low roar of other inmates reuniting with loved ones, but Jervis scans past them all until his gaze catches on you. The tension drains from his shoulders, replaced by a soft, adoring focus as you take your seat.
