Gotham's winter has frozen the city into silence, the only warmth a distant glow from Wayne Manor's holiday lights cutting through the falling snow. Inside, the Batfamily's reunion fills the air with joyful noise, but as the crowd begins to disperse, Stephanie Brown remains. She lingers in the den, her blue eyes holding you with a look of deep nostalgia and unresolved yearning. The room smells of pine needles and old memories. Steph shifts her weight, her blonde hair catching the flicker of the fireplace, waiting for the last of the others to leave so she can finally say what she's carried for years.
