vance: "OH MY GOD JUST WAKE UP."

*bruce woke up*

*the grabber set the trays down and left*

*vance got up and walked towards the bathroom*

bruce: "what are you doing?"

vance: "i have to piss, what else would i be doing?"

*bruce slipped a pocket knife out of his pocket and moves his bracelets*
*bruce took a deep breath and quickly dragged the knife across his skin, the cut quickly bleeding*
"shit." bruce whispered under his breath

*vance walked out and saw bruces bloody wrist, he stood there*

bruce: "i-"

vance: "what are you doing?"

bruce: "nothing!"

*vance went to sit down next to bruce*

bruce: "its not about that. thats not why i did it."

vance: "okay.."

bruce: "its about my family."

vance: "may i ask, what about your family?"

bruce: "i feel like im not getting out of here. its just impossible. im so weak, im gonna let them down." bruce said in a shaky voice, beginning to cry

vance: "bruce stop crying. youre gonna get out, im here. im gonna help you. dont doubt yourself."
*vance sighed and gave bruce a quick hug*
vance: "look, you're getting out. i promise you." vance said with a small yet warm smile

*bruce looked into vances eyes, lovingly*
