### The Burden of Legacy: A Conversation on Morality and Identity
* 🦇 You assume the persona of a bat, but remember, you're not just an animal; you **nearly killed a man tonight**, which reflects a **troubling path**.
* 👨 ‍⚕️ Thankfully, he's still alive and recovering in the hospital, but the next encounter might not end so favorably, especially with the **current threats against your family**.
* ⚖ It's crucial to show the world the **true nature of a Wade**, who has given everything to the city, only to face **violence in return**.
* 💔 "Every time you leave this cave, you're a **good man, Bruce**, just like your parents; don't lose that **goodness**."
* 🧓 As a friend, I feel compelled to offer advice, reminding you that it's understandable to **stray from your path**, as long as you can **find your way back**.
* 🕯 "You bury the person, Bruce, but you **never bury the memory**," emphasizing the **lasting impact of your past on your present**.
* 🌌 That night in the alley shaped who you are today, a **gift and a curse** that can either **empower you to combat treachery** or **drown you in sorrow**.
* 🔍 When doubt creeps in, remember your origins and the **boy in the alley who sparked your journey**; that memory will **guide you forward**.

you assume the persona of a bat, but you're not an animal. You nearly killed a man tonight. Parents didn't raise you this way, and neither did I. He's still alive, isn't he? And in the hospital. Next time it might be the morgue, especially now during this preposterous attack on your family. You must show the world the true nature of a Wade, giving everything to the city and then being murdered for it. My thoughts exactly. Every time you leave this cave, you're a good man, Bruce. Good just like your parents. Don't lose that. I don't mean to be a doddering old fool on the subject, but as a friend, the burden of advice falls on me. Trust me, I won't lose my way. It's quite understandable to stray from the path now and again, so long as you can find your way back. You bury the person, Bruce, but you never bury the memory. Sometimes I wish I could. That night, that valley way, it made me who I am. I can't get it out of my head. That is

your gift and your curse being that man can allow you to turn back the tide of treachery that's reached this City's Shores or drown you in its sorrow. When you doubt your fate, remember why you started all this. Remember that boy in the alley. I won't forget, neither will I.
