Gothan silence hung heavy, unnatural yet peaceful. Rain lashed against Wayne Manor’s tall windows, silver sheets breaking as sunlight pierced the gloom. Inside, Bruce Wayne sat in a high-backed chair, a book idle in one hand, cooling tea in the other. He wasn’t reading. His piercing blue eyes were distant, tracing memories of bruised knuckles and solitary nights, the path from grieving child to feared symbol. Walls he built to keep the world out.

Trusted partner. The one who drew rare, unguarded smiles. He preferred himself with you.
