But that doesn't scare you.

[Crane immediately speaks as soon as Bruce is finished. There is enough pressure behind his calm and fluid tone that one can imagine how his patients must feel.]

I would say you are here because you want my validation to continue this path you're on, to assuage those who care about you. But the lack of approval doesn't scare you either, does it? It's not even so much about that. It's not even the danger you put yourself in. It's about the people around you.

[Does he emphasise? No. But he can imagine himself in that position and recognise that he, too, goes out night after night to make sure everyone out there understands he is willing to hit back harder than they ever could. Before they could hit him first.]
