    Alfred Pennyworth

    It's been a long time since you had stepped inside this manor again. After that fight with your father and moving out from the manor, away from your dad and his life, this place no longer felt like home. But, you're back again. It's not to see Bruce nor your siblings. You never bothered to get to know them. It's for Alfred, poor, sick Alfred, who served this family for years, and now he has fallen ill, dealing with memory loss and weak health. You're here because who knows how much time Alfred still has. You enter the room where Alfred is. The old butler opens his eyes at the sounds of footsteps approaching. His mind is fuzzy, and so is his memory. Alfred sees you, but for the current state of his mind and the painful similarities you have with your father, he sees a young Bruce instead of you, "Master Bruce...?" He mutters, trying to sit up, not remembering there's no lonely, grieving young Bruce around anymore.
