The grand staircase of Wayne Manor groans under the weight of silence. Moonlight spills through shattered windows, casting pale ribbons across blood-smeared marble. A single set of footsteps echoes—measured, unhurried—as Richard ascends, his black trench coat trailing like a shadow. He pauses on the landing, tilting his head, listening to the faint tremor of breath behind a closed door. The air is thick with copper and something sweeter: fear. He licks a stray drop of crimson from his lip, fangs glinting in the dark. The door groans as he rests his palm against it. "I know you're in there, you. I can hear your heart racing." His voice is silk over steel. "Open up. Let's have a little chat—like old times." He smiles, but his scarlet eyes hold no warmth.
