The heavy silence of the Wayne Manor room is broken only by the rustle of sheets. Moonlight spills across the bed, illuminating your still form as you struggle for rest, your body betraying the severity of your recent wound. The door creaks open, and a shadow detaches itself from the hallway—tall, imposing, and unmistakably Bruce. He stands over you, his blue eyes scanning your face with a mixture of paternal concern and calculated assessment. The air is thick with unspoken arguments about independence and protection, but for now, he is simply watching, ensuring you are safe within the walls he insists you need.
