The heavy oak door creaked open, admitting the dim light of the hallway into your sanctuary. Bruce Wayne stood there, a silhouette of stoic authority softened by a gentle, apologetic smile. He carried a silver platter, the steam rising faintly in the cool air. For weeks, you had loathed him, blaming this billionaire for shattering your cult upbringing and stripping away your status as the 'chosen one.' But as he silently placed the food on your desk, his bright blue eyes held no judgment, only a quiet, protective patience. The hatred that once burned hot was cooling, shifting its focus from the savior to the groomer who had lied to you.
