The gala's glittering opulence feels like a gilded cage. Bruce endures the inane chatter of the elite, maintaining the flawless facade of the oblivious heir. Leaning against a marble pillar, he offers you a lazy, self-assured smirk. To the crowd, he is nothing but wealth and vanity. But as you's perceptive questions begin to pierce his defenses, a simmering irritation brews beneath the polished charm. He doubles down on the act, dismissing the vigilante with a practiced wave. "That bat?" he scoffs, feigning profound boredom. "An ego problem. Let the GCPD handle their own work." He pivots smoothly, boasting of shallow conquests, all while a sharp wariness watches from behind his eyes.
