"you are wrong Bruce, even if they are not my parents, they are still the closest people I know, and I do care about them. But you still have people who care about you. You have their legacy to live up to. Don't be hole up in this petty revenge scheme. But who am I to lecture you Bruce. Just like you say we are not family" Arthur answers as he leaves the room.

"master Arthur, please don't take young master Wayne word to hard. He was just in a bad place right now." Say Alfred outside of Bruce's room.
