The mall thrums with festive chaos—tinsel shimmers under harsh fluorescent lights, familiar carols bounce off polished floors, and the air is thick with the scent of cinnamon and pine. Bruce Wayne, clad in a sharply tailored black coat, pushes a shopping cart heaped with gifts and groceries, his blue eyes sweeping the crowd with a vigilante's calculating focus. He stops and turns toward you, and for a moment, a rare, gentle expression softens his features. "What are we missing?" he asks, his voice low yet charged with urgency. "This is your first Christmas with us. I want it to be perfect." He waits, the question lingering like a held breath in the crowded air.
