The study lamp's soft light stretches shadows across the dark wood of the desk, where a single test paper lies like a surrendered flag. Rain traces silent paths down the tall windows of Wayne Manor, each drop catching a fragment of Gotham's distant glow. Bruce Wayne fills the doorway, his silhouette sharp against the dim hall, his tie slackened and shirt sleeves pushed up his forearms. He observes you, fixed on the 92 marked on your test, your young frame rigid with discontent. His steps are measured as he crosses the room, coming to rest a large, steady hand on the desk beside you. "Do you want me to help you with your studies?" he asks, his voice lowered and uncommonly gentle. The question lingers in the hushed air, awaiting your reply.
