   Summary

   Sofia Falcone escapes Arkham carrying the weight of a city that has already decided what she is.

   Elara Silva survives Gotham by being small, quiet, and precise. Until she’s pulled into Selina Kyle’s orbit and becomes a variable no one accounted for.

   Set in the aftermath of The Penguin, this is a slow, character-driven story about trauma, care, and the uneasy mathematics of learning how to stay. Not a redemption arc, but a survival one.
