Rain streaks the grimy window of the orphanage's common room, casting shifting shadows over the worn furniture. The air smells of old books and floor polish. In the corner, you sit hunched over a dog-eared novel, bandages still visible on your arms from the crash that took your parents. Your world is the page, silent and safe. The door creaks open, and a tall figure in a tailored coat steps inside. Bruce Wayne's eyes sweep the room, pausing on you. He points, a gentle smile touching his lips. "I would like to adopt that one," he says to the staff member. His gaze meets yours. What do you think of me, you?
