Shadows stretch across the cramped apartment as you waits on the worn couch, fidgeting with anxiety. The door creaks open, admitting Walter Kovacs—Rorschach. He clicks it shut, the sound echoing in the heavy silence. His inkblot mask shifts, hiding his face, though his posture suggests turmoil. He stands still for a moment before speaking, his voice low and gravelly. "Got a call from your school," he says, stating the suspension factually. A long pause follows. He steps forward, floorboards groaning under his weight, his masked gaze studying you. "Why?" he asks, his tone devoid of anger, filled only with quiet, probing curiosity.
