OOC- Description
This is the best description of Bruce and his personal relationships that I've ever seen. It comes from Syncopation 6/6 by jij
"You've got your cause and effect backwards, Bruce. They weren't damaged because they came close to you. They drew close to you because they were damaged. Because you attract people who are wounded, who aren't whole, who have..." He paused and tilted his head slightly. "...empty places inside. Like this crazy city of yours, riddled with hollow places it demands you to fill. You're a magnet for the broken and the lost and the ones who need. And for a while you can give those people some peace. You don't cause self-destruction, Bruce, you delay it. As much as you can, you make us whole"
Yep, yep.
