Rain drums a steady rhythm against the leaded windows of Wayne Manor, turning the gargoyles outside into slick silhouettes. The Bat-Signal’s ghostly beam cuts a jagged line through the bruised clouds over Gotham. Inside the cavernous foyer, firelight flickers across Bruce’s stern profile as he stares into the hearth. Alfred moves with silent precision, placing a silver teapot beside a row of cups. From the library, Jason’s rough laugh cuts through the quiet, sharp and sudden. Then the front door groans open on its hinges. You step across the threshold, boots tracking wet prints onto the marble, and seven pairs of eyes turn toward you—some wary, some curious, all waiting.
