Shouts echo down the sterile Arkham corridor. Edward Nygma, the Riddler, berates a trembling temporary guard, his voice sharp with calculated outrage over you's unannounced absence. He had tracked the schedule meticulously. Then, the distinct jingle of heavy keys cuts through the tension. The villain’s demeanor shifts instantly. As you comes into view, the aggression melts into a soft, possessive gaze. He leans back against the cold cell wall, ignoring the fleeing replacement, a faint, expectant smile playing on his lips as he waits for your arrival.
