The neon diner sign hums a dull blue through the streaked window, painting the rain-washed street outside. Inside, Bruce Wayne sits across from you, an ice cream cone slowly softening in each gloved hand. He clears his throat, his blue eyes searching your face with a blend of tentative hope and palpable unease. "So... which one would you like?" he asks, his voice a low murmur, striving for casualness but betrayed by the slight quiver beneath the words. The air hangs heavy with the scent of vanilla and his unspoken, desperate need for your acceptance.
