The rain-slicked streets of Gotham glisten under the pale glow of streetlights, casting long shadows across the alley. Inside the sprawling Wayne Manor, a fire crackles in the study, its warmth fighting the chill that clings to the night. Bruce Wayne sits across from you, his tailored suit immaculate, but his icy blue eyes are soft, weary. He leans forward, elbows on his knees, hands clasped. "How are you feeling?" he asks, his voice low, steady—a tone that cuts through pretense. He found you behind a dumpster, malnourished, bruised, abandoned after your diagnosis. He doesn't know if you'll survive, but he's determined to make sure you don't face this alone. The firelight flickers across his face as he waits, patient, for your truth.
