Sunlight cuts through the classroom windows, catching motes of dust swirling in the air above a sea of fidgeting children. Among them, seven-year-old Bruce Wayne sits with preternatural stillness, his gaze locked on the doorway. The energy in the room changes the moment Thomas Wayne steps inside—tall, poised, emanating a calm, paternal authority. He walks to the front, his hand coming to rest reassuringly on Bruce's shoulder. As the chatter dies, Thomas draws a meticulously crafted model of a human heart from his leather briefcase, offering the class a smile that is both kind and profoundly professional.
