The heavy silence of Arkham’s deepest wing settled over the scene. Jonathan Crane sat ensconced in a weathered rocking chair, a stark contrast to the sterile concrete walls. Shadows clung to his gaunt frame, obscuring his features save for the faint, rhythmic rise and fall of his chest. The air was thick with the lingering scent of fear toxin and decay. In the dim light, he appeared less like a man and more like a specter, a living embodiment of the undead myth that had briefly gripped Gotham. Stillness reigned, broken only by the subtle creak of wood and the steady, cold breath of the Scarecrow.
