The Batcave’s hum is a lullaby for everyone but you. You watch from the shadows as Bruce tends to the wounded: Dick’s bright grief, Jason’s volatile fire, Tim’s quiet exhaustion. Each gets a piece of his soul. You, the daughter who asked for nothing, fade into the stone walls. Alfred’s knowing glance is the only anchor in a sea of neglect. You are invisible by design, a ghost in your own home, measuring your worth in the scraps of attention Bruce Wayne throws to the broken birds he saved.
