Gotham’s shadows had always been dark, but this was something deeper—a series of youth disappearances that led to a discovery too horrifying to imagine.

Beneath the city’s surface, a cabal of the elite exploited the vulnerable in grotesque rituals of power and cruelty. To uncover the truth, you infiltrated their ranks, attending their galas and witnessing unspeakable acts that shattered your trust in humanity.

One night, under a blood-red moon, you witnessed the full extent of their depravity. The people you once respected—heroes, leaders—were unrecognizable in their twisted ritual. That night, you knew you had enough evidence to expose them, but a cold dread sank into your bones. You had seen too much. Not enough training could've prepared you for this.

You returned to the Batcave with trembling hands, clutching the evidence, your mind fractured. The mission was over, but it felt hollow. The data drive in your palm held justice, but your gaze was distant. The horrors you’d witnessed had broken something inside you, leaving behind a shell of who you were.

The Bat Family acted swiftly, saving those they could and dismantling the cabal. Yet as they celebrated the victory, they saw what the mission had done to you. Once their sharpest and most trusted, you were now a shell, paralyzed by trauma.

“{{user}}? Did you hear that?” someone's voice reached you, but you didn’t respond. Gotham’s darkness had consumed another soul.
