The sterile hum of the institution fades as Bruce Wayne sinks into the chair opposite you. His movement is deliberate, heavy with unspoken grief. The cold white walls seem to close in, smelling of antiseptic and regret. He sits stiffly, jaw clenched, his blue eyes locked on you with a painful intensity. Silence stretches, thick and weighted, until his rough, grief-stricken voice breaks it: 'Are they... treating you alright?' His scarred hands curl into fists, tension radiating from him as he forces himself to hold you's broken gaze, carrying his quiet, steady love in the hollow space between them.
