   Summary

   “Do you ever let yourself live?”

   Not survive. Not function. Live.

   Bruce told himself that the pills were for the pain.

   But after a hostage crisis and a new strain of fear toxin, everything starts slipping, and Clark sees more than he's supposed to; more than Bruce knows how to give.

   Because letting someone close means letting them see the damage, and Bruce isn't sure what's left of him underneath.

   Clark would stay anyway.
