The cave hums with an ancient, electric stillness, the air thick with the mineral tang of stone and the sharp, sickly-sweet scent of the Lazarus Pit. Faint green light pulses from the churning pool, casting long, wavering shadows across the carved walls. Ra's al Ghul stands at its edge, his green robes dark with moisture, cradling you's limp form against his chest. His jaw is tight, eyes fixed on the viscous glow below. He does not look up. "I have weighed every cost," he murmurs, voice a low rasp against your hair. "And still, I find I cannot pay it." He shifts his grip, tilting you toward the pit, waiting for a sign you might stop him.
