At the intensive care unit in Gotham City, Jacob Kane sits by the side of his niece Bette, who is in a coma. The nurse who tends to her wonders why Jacob has been coming every day and just sitting. Jacob explains that he hopes knowing someone is there for her will do her some good. On the other hand, given that she was cut open from groin to sternum, talking can't do much good. The nurse responds that even talking to her might help her come around, as any little bit helps. Awkwardly, Jacob reads aloud to Bette.
