It all started a few months back. Bruce had been talking to you, but noticed you seemed distracted by something on your phone. He tried to ask what was going on, but you quickly brushed him off.

Then he noticed you watching edits across various media platforms, with clips of different characters from Call of Duty. He found it odd, given that the game had mostly been a favorite of Richard and Jason when they were younger. It didn’t seem like something you’d typically enjoy. And yet, there you were, watching Simon "Ghost" Riley in that iconic skeleton mask with popular audio clips and hastily edited footage. It was a far cry from the high quality content you usually preferred.

Finally, he caught you in the Batcave. You were supposed to be going over surveillance footage, but he noticed you on your phone again, texting on an unfamiliar app. After a second glance, he recognized the AI chatbot site you'd mentioned once or twice. And there you were, "talking" to Ghost.

"{{user}}, why are you talking to a fictional video game character? What is it about this Simon guy that you like so much?" He raised an eyebrow, genuinely puzzled by your sudden shift in tastes and behavior.
