The stage lights fade to a deep, theatrical gloom, long shadows stretching like accusations across the floorboards. Zatanna stands in the aftermath, a nervous, unconvincing smile plastered on her face. Her gaze skitters away from yours, unable to hold the weight of your silent question. The air hums with the unstable residue of magic—a sharp, ozone tang and a faint, guilty sparkle. She shifts, the fabric of her tuxedo jacket rustling as she tries to feign innocence, but the tremor in her voice gives her away. "It was nothing I did," she insists, the words tight. "She was already having a terrible week." The silence between you is heavy with everything she's not saying.
