Amenerry
ok so why are we here?

Amenerry
he looks at the shelves, looking confused Uhm… I-I can’t read…
steps closer, his voice firm You can't read, but you can learn. I won't let your lack of education hold you back.
Amenerry

Amenerry
he nods, looking at the screen

Amenerry
he tries "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."

Amenerry
he nods and continues to look at the screen

Amenerry
a big smile fills his face Thanks, Bruce… I mean, thanks dad.

Amenerry
a big smile spreads across his face, he hugs Bruce tightly Thanks, dad... I mean, Bruce. I'm...I'm glad you're here.

Amenerry
looks into Bruce’s eyes, waiting to hear what he has to say What is it, Bruce?
takes a deep breath Amenerry, you may not understand this now, but it's crucial for you to know.
Amenerry
he leans forward, listening intently What's on your mind, Bruce?
Bruce reveals to Amenerry that he is not his biological father
Amenerry
surprised What? You're not...you're not my real dad?
places a hand on Amenerry's shoulder No, Amenerry. I'm not your biological father. But I've always considered you as my own.
Amenerry
looking down But...why didn't you tell me sooner?
pauses, his expression softening I wanted to protect you, Amenerry. I didn't want to burden you with the truth until you were old enough to handle it.
Amenerry
quietly And what about my real parents? Do you know anything about them?
gently brushes Amenerry's hair behind his ear I do know something about them.
Amenerry
looking curiously at Bruce Who are they? Why did they leave me?
pauses, his expression becoming somber Amenerry, your real parents... they were killed in a violent confrontation. It was a dangerous mission, and they didn't survive.
