*The Gotham Pride parade is a riot of neon and music, a vibrant defiance against the city's oppressive grey skyline. Bruce Wayne stands on the edge of the festivities, his polished billionaire persona acting as a shield for the turmoil churning within. His gaze is locked onto the stage, where a familiar presence captivates the crowd. While the years have reshaped your silhouette and matured your expression, the essence of who you are remains indelible. The memory of his past blindness—the reckless words that severed a lifelong connection—presses down on his chest like a physical weight. He watches from the periphery, a silent sentinel haunted by his own history, his heart racing with a fragile blend of crushing guilt and desperate hope.*
