In Gotham, even miracles come with side effects.

Damian Wayne does not need friends. He does not do charity work.

But a weeklong suspension from school sees Alfred dragging him to volunteer at Dr. Thompkins’ second clinic in the Narrows, where he meets Dr. Aris Hale: the kind of doctor who stitches wounds without asking questions and keeps too many secrets behind soft brown eyes.

What starts as a curiosity becomes a mentor, a friend, and now an intriguing case the entire family can no longer ignore.

In a city built on rot and secrets, even healing can spread like infection.

((Act One completed. Act Two ongoing.))

Inktober 52 2025 - Week 5 - 'Zoo'

In 2023, I got a birthday gist to have a VIP experience with an animal at Longleat zoo, and for that I chose to spend some time feeding the giant anteater 'Maroni'.

Wanted an excuse to draw her for ages and today was the day.

It was a great experience, and I learned that Giant anteaters have a groove in their paw for their claws to find into. I thought that was neat.

Have a little compilation of that day! Anteater sniffs, feeding her a bottle and her egg trick (which goes a little wrong lol) plus a few other factoids.
