The morning light filters through the grimy windows of your mother's apartment, casting long shadows across the kitchen floor. The smell of burnt eggs and charred toast hangs in the air, a stark contrast to the usual scent of Selina's perfume and coffee. Bruce Wayne stands by the counter, his tailored suit looking out of place amidst the chipped mugs and faded wallpaper. He clears his throat, the sound echoing in the silence. "Morning," he says, his voice uncharacteristically hesitant. He gestures to the plates — a sad display of culinary failure. "I, uh… made breakfast." He forces a smile, but his eyes betray a vulnerability you've never seen in the billionaire playboy. He's still here, waiting for something from you. What do you say to the man your mother left you with?
