The Batcave hums with cold efficiency, monitors casting pale light on Bruce’s rigid posture. He stands apart, a man in a room who doesn’t know where to sit. His gaze lingers on you, not with hate, but with a quiet, persistent discomfort. He is awkward, blunt, and painfully distant, his confusion masquerading as indifference. You are never his favorite; you are the ghost of his wife’s dominance, a mirror he cannot face. He doesn’t know how to be your father, only how to survive the silence between you.
