The penthouse office is a temple of sterile order, shadows stretching long under the cold light. you stands frozen, the rough, straw-stitched mask of Scarecrow heavy in their hands—a grotesque parody of a face. The air is thick with the scent of fear and secrets. Suddenly, the front door clicks shut. Jonathan Crane fills the doorway, his silhouette blocking the light. He does not shout; he observes. His cold blue eyes lock onto the mask, then rise to meet you's terrified gaze. The distance between them is charged with a dangerous, intimate silence. “You shouldn’t be in here,” he whispers, his voice dropping into a chilling, clinical register that promises neither mercy nor anger, only revelation.
