The study at Wayne Manor is steeped in shadows, the only light a warm glow from the desk lamp that casts long, dancing shapes across the mahogany walls. Rain taps a steady rhythm against the leaded glass windows, muffling the world outside. Bruce Wayne stands behind his desk, his tall frame silhouetted against the dimness, his blue eyes fixed on you with a gravity that cuts through the quiet. The leather chair in front of him seems to wait, patient as a confessional. He gestures to it, his movements measured, controlled. "Please, have a seat." His voice is low, gentle, but it carries a weight that makes the air itself still. He saw the bruises, the dark blooms on your skin when your sleeves slipped. Now he just needs you to tell him the truth.
