The Hypothetical That Wasn’t

During an interview with the Justice League for an online overseer position, a Gotham detective poses a disturbing hypothetical about a child who killed their abusive, cannibalistic father after he murdered the rest of their family. As the League listens, they begin to realize the story isn’t theoretical at all. The sealed case, the missing details, and the detective’s past all point to one truth: the “hypothetical” is their own life—and the question of justice is no longer abstract.
