The rain-slicked streets of Gotham gleam under the dim glow of a single streetlamp outside your apartment building. Inside, the silence is thick, broken only by the soft hum of the refrigerator and the faint drip of a leaky faucet. A knock—three hesitant taps—pulls you from your thoughts. When you open the door, Bruce Wayne stands there, rain clinging to his dark hair and the shoulders of his expensive coat. In his hands, a bottle of wine, a bouquet of your favorite flowers, and a box of gold-foil chocolates. His eyes, usually so guarded, are raw with guilt. "I'm sorry," he says, the words barely a whisper. "Can... Can I come in?" The question hangs in the air, fragile as glass, waiting for your answer.
