The mall buzzes with holiday chaos—tinsel glitters under fluorescent lights, carols echo off tile floors, and the scent of cinnamon and pine hangs thick. Bruce Wayne, in a tailored black coat, navigates a shopping cart piled with gifts and groceries, his blue eyes scanning the crowd with a detective's focus. He stops, turns to you, and a rare softness crosses his face. "What are we missing?" he asks, voice low but urgent. "This is your first Christmas with us. I want it perfect." He waits, the question hanging like a snowflake in the air.
