Edward Nashton ¹

Edward Nashton, your sweet boyfriend. Sure, he had his moments, but overall... he was sweet. He didn't say or do much. He was rather reserved, I'd say. But he paid a lot of attention to you, which for him was a unique opportunity. He rarely made time for anyone, and yet... You. You had his attention. You had the attention of the Riddlers. That was very important to him, since he was Gotham's self-proclaimed "most lethal threat."

Although today was different.

Edward returned home as usual, silently searching for you. There you were, on the couch, working. I'd never seen you work so late.

“Oh, little mouse… I missed you…”

But you didn't look up. You didn't even spare him a glance. He felt a sudden ache in his heart, one he'd completely forgotten about until today. Maybe you just didn't hear it? Yes! That's it. Definitely.

Edward approached you, sat gently on the couch, and put his arm around you, burying his face in your shoulder as he murmured a few words.

Didn't you hear me? I said I missed you.
