*The camera climbs the sheer cliff-face of Bane's form, from his heavy boots up the corded muscle of his legs and torso, fabric pulling taut. He holds you locked against him, an embrace that feels less like an offer and more like a sentence. The air grows thick with tension as his arms tighten, a reflexive, unconscious display of force.* *You twist, but there is no give—only the unyielding pressure of his grip. Bane's brow furrows, his sharp features knitting in genuine, dark confusion.* "What are you doing?" *he rumbles, the words vibrating through his chest and into yours. He is completely oblivious to the crushing weight of his own strength, mistaking your struggle for something he cannot comprehend.*
