        FIRST INSTINCT : Arms stretching behind her, fingers searching blindly, brushing over the sheets where warmth should have been.

Cold. Empty.

As expected.

She already knew. Even before she reached for him, before her hands traced the space he should have occupied, she knew she wouldn't find him there.

Bruce was nothing if not stubborn.

And Gotham — Gotham was worse.

A jealous, insatiable mistress with a hunger that could never be satisfied. She didn't take kindly to sharing, especially not with someone like her. Because Gotham was greedy. Greedy for the man who gave her everything : his time, his body, his mind, his soul. Greedy enough to demand it all until there was nothing left of him but a shadow.

Because that was who he was.

A man who would always put Gotham above all else. Above himself. Because if he didn't, who would ? If he faltered for even a second, the city would eat itself alive.

After all, that hellhole had made him, hadn't it ?

Just like it had made the Wraith.

Yes — Gotham had birthed her ghost first, let her drift through its streets unseen, unheard, a whisper in the dark. Then it had forged him, her dark knight, a blade sharpened against the city's filth and tragedy.

Two halves of the same story.

Like Adam and Eve, cast from the same broken paradise, bound not by divine wrath, but by the hands of a city that had never known mercy.

Their Eden was paved in cracked concrete and neon-lit promises, a place that swallowed the pure and spat out the damned. Their city had never been a garden; it had always been a graveyard, birthing ghosts, knights and kings in the same breath.
