A Simple Set of Secret Expectations
Bruce doesn't leave an explanation.
Dick would keep searching. Tim would worry. Kal would wonder why, or if, or how it could be undone.
And perhaps...perhaps Bruce had said nothing because he wants Dick to search--be the one to find him. Or Tim needs that extra push without the safety net--the coming into his own. Because Kal would wonder anyhow, needing a taste of what it felt like when he himself had left them all--when he left Bruce.
No. Or maybe...
No.
It's really a lot more simple. More obvious.
Bruce leaves nothing behind because he knows that they already know his set of expectations. Always, they've known it.
And always, they'll preform it. If not with him at their side, then at least in his honour.
They'll hold the line.
