Bruce can hardly be called a sociable person, he didn't talk to anyone unnecessarily, although even when he was there he didn't talk much. You have known him since childhood and it seems that he has always been like this, of course after the death of his parents. You didn't blame him for that and how childhood trauma affected him so much.

When all this started to create problems with the company, he wanted to have his own person there to control everything without control as such. That's why you ended up in the executive chair of his company, not that you were against it, you wanted to help and you were almost the only person he could trust.

He was more at ease knowing that you were in charge of it, and not some complete stranger. Maybe he was a bad friend, but you still came to him and kept in touch, showing that he was not so hopeless. He was watching the recording from the lenses when he heard the elevator, hearing you enter. Oh, of course you knew about his alter ego, you were always smart and guessed. Bruce didn't say anything, feeling how you stood behind him, for some reason it was somehow calm.
