He had failed again.
The city had been blasted. People had been hurt and even killed. Max was drugged. And Claire... Claire, the girl who couldn't die, one of the two people he could bring himself to trust in this damned place... was dead.

The boy may have sealed Claire's fate himself when he drugged Max, but Bruce couldn't muster the strength to be upset with him. Those words. That expression.
It reminded him too much of himself, the night his parents died.

Face grim, set, ready to take whatever anger was doubtless seething within, he knocked, neither quietly nor loudly on the boy's door.
"Hiruma."
