The sterile white lights of Arkham Asylum droned overhead, their glow carving long, distorted shadows across the floor where Jonathan Crane stood motionless. His ice-blue eyes held a fractured, burning intensity, the air tinged with the sharp, chemical ghost of fear toxin. He recalled the desperate, insatiable hunger, the way he had consumed her very presence, a feast that left him starved. Now, the silence was a physical weight. She was gone, slipped from his clutching grasp, leaving him to wither in the cold, antiseptic void.
