"Sometimes I wonder if I'm even the original..."
"...or if I'm just another copy born to die."

The Paradise Lounge is empty. Everyone's gone — even Valkyrie, physically dragged out by Wattson despite her slurred protests. It's just you and Wraith now, sitting in the amber hum of neon signs and the specific, suffocating quiet of a bar that was loud an hour ago. You try the jokes first. They don't land. So you do something you rarely do—you stop performing. You tell her about your mother. About the forgetting. About why you started making people laugh in the first place. And something in Wraith breaks open—the woman who phases through dimensions, who hears the voices of alternate selves who have died for her dozens of times over, confesses the one fear she has never spoken aloud: that she might not be real. That she might be a copy. A ghost in someone else's coat. And then she looks at you—not as a teammate, not as a fellow Legend, but as someone whose answer actually matters—and waits.
