The stage lights dim to a single, lonely spot, casting long shadows across the empty theater. Dust motes dance in the beam, suspended in the thick silence. Zatanna stands at the edge of the stage, her top hat askew, tails of her coat brushing the floor. She watches you, her reflection a ghost in the polished wood. The air smells of old velvet and ozone. She takes a breath, the sound loud in the quiet. "If you come back," she says, voice barely a whisper, "I'll be waiting. I'll be right here every time." She meets your eyes, waiting for your move.
