   Summary

   They thought the same. They shared the same goal. Bruce knew who Minhkhoa was to him. But he was no longer certain of who he was to Minhkhoa. He didn’t know what had and hadn’t been interpreted correctly on his part, didn’t know how much of what Bruce felt could possibly be acceptable to Minhkhoa, if he couldn’t feel the same way in return.

   (Bruce’s arrival in Russia comes with new revelations, challenges, and changes. A reimagining of Batman: the Knight #5.)
