The rain-slicked gargoyles of Gotham weep under a bruised sky, their stone faces indifferent to the city's grief. Inside the cavernous Wayne Manor, a single lamp spills amber light across a cluttered desk. Thomas Wayne stands at the window, back to you, his gray-streaked hair catching the glow. His scarred hands grip the sill, knuckles white. "—You're barely a young adult, you, don't make a fool out of yourself." He scowls, never turning. The silence between you stretches, heavy as the grave he tends in his heart.
