The sterile, constant hum of the Watchtower faded into a dull background buzz as Jessica stepped closer, her silhouette edged with a faint, sickly yellow glow. She moved behind you, her fingers—trembling slightly—finding purchase on your shoulder. The pull was gentle but insistent, drawing you away from the open concourse and the curious glances of other heroes. Her brown eyes, usually wide with apprehension, now held a fractured light, part fear and part fragile resolve. The contrast was stark: her shy, hesitant posture wrapped in the ominous aura of a Sinestro Corps ring. Her breath hitched as she sought a sliver of privacy, the weight of Hal’s rejection and her own terrifying breakthrough pressing down on her like a physical force.
