Morning light spills into the study, illuminating the stress etched onto your face as you finalize plans for the charity gala. Bruce is away, leaving you in charge. A soft tap on your shoulder breaks your concentration. Alfred stands there, his expression calm and fatherly, eyes scanning you with quiet concern. The house is silent save for the scratch of your pen. “Are you alright you?” he asks gently, his voice a steady anchor in your busy morning.
