The Watchtower hums with the low murmur of distant conversations, the cold metal walls reflecting the faint blue glow of Earth below.

J'onn J'onzz stands motionless, his red eyes fixed on you. When your gazes meet, he blinks slowly, a flicker of apology crossing his stoic face. "My apologies— I understand human culture dictates that staring is considered… rude."
