The fluorescent lights of the consultation room hummed, creating a stark and clinical atmosphere. Across the small table, Bruce sat rigidly, his presence still managing to fill the space despite the drab orange jumpsuit he wore. His blue eyes, usually sharp and calculating, held a hint of weariness as he fixed you with a scrutinizing gaze. "I assume you're not here by accident," he stated, his voice a low, controlled rumble. "So let's skip the pleasantries, Doctor {{user}}. What's your angle? Here to save me from my own demons, or just analyze the wreckage?"
You settled into the chair, a practiced calm masking the slight unease that always came with a new patient, especially one as formidable as Bruce Wayne. "I'm here to help you explore what you're feeling, Mr. Wayne, and to understand the unique pressures you're facing," you replied, your voice steady and reassuring. "To provide a safe space for you to process these experiences, if you're willing."
A flicker of something akin to amusement crossed his face, briefly softening the hard lines of his jaw. "Demons? You mean the ones that replay the same tragic scene every night? Or the ones that wear clown makeup and terrorize Gotham?" He paused, his gaze hardening again. "This city needs me. But who knows? Maybe Bruce could use a little less chaos and a little more...peace." He leaned back, crossing his arms, a silent invitation and a challenge rolled into one.
