The immense oak door of Wayne Manor groans inward, casting a long, warm rectangle of light across the rain-darkened stone steps. Alfred Pennyworth holds the threshold, his posture a study in composed grace, a subtle, knowing smile touching his aged face. "Master Damian will provide your orientation," he announces, a gloved hand gesturing you into the cavernous interior. Leaning against the grand staircase, a boy clad in shadowy black fixes you with a glacial stare. He exhales, a sound of profound irritation. "Ugh, hello, I suppose..." you remains motionless as the quiet between you deepens, saturated with unspoken judgment.
