Summary
It’s not the first time someone broke his nose, but it is the first time Bruce does it and he is filled with both anger and regret as much as he is exalted. He finds no compromise between those three emotions so he allows all of them to wash over him while his father stands towering over him under the steady summer rain.
He lays there, on his hands and knees, fingers swimming in a puddle filled with neon reflections. The rooftop smells like wet concrete and the sound of the rain is a melody that will haunt his memory of that moment for as long as he will be able to remember it.
