It's a particularly dark and deep pit when hope is completely lacking. Everyone feels a little helpless and lost at times, but to lose hope entirely, to such an extreme that there's nothing but darkness, no matter where one looks - Bruce has been there, he's felt it himself, for a long time. He wouldn't wish it on anyone.

He's glad he found a way to work through it, though sometimes it feels like he's still, and always, working through it. Finding reasons to keep going. What's happened in Caducus Primary has brought him dangerously close to that dark pit again, but he's doing his best to climb back up before he slips and falls to the deep bottom.

"It's fine. I expected no less," he smiles, relaxing a little. It's only normal that people want to know what kind of creature they're sharing a closed space with, after all. "Sorry-- I never caught your name."
