The glow of Gotham City bleeds against the windows of Wayne Manor. In a dimly lit study, Bruce holds the phone with a tension that knots his shoulders, his expression a raw tangle of want and remorse. His rough voice cuts the night's silence, betraying the fragility behind the man of steel as he tries, and fails, to maintain the distance he swore would keep you safe.
