When dreams may come
Bruce prefers to be alone. Very few people know how to remain in his company without rattling his concentration, something in effect almost every waking hour. In fact, the few people could probably be boiled down to a total of one: Alfred Pennyworth. Yet in the time since he and Selina began seeing each other, sleeping together, living together, he got accustomed to having her beside him in bed. Between his usual concerns and her absence, he has been sleeping even more fitfully than usual of late.
Fitful sleep makes for unpleasant dreams for Bruce Wayne, when the nightmares visited on the Batman are no longer held at bay by his force of will.
After the usual alleyway encounter with Joe Chill, his dreams turn to other matters, newer matters. To a man who had saved his life and repaired his skull after a fall that should have killed him, to a man who had been a childhood friend of Bruce.
