[Bruce is more affected by the attempt on Gabriel too, honestly. Which is a bit terrible in and of itself... or perhaps for the better, since Bruce has never been that close to Black. If anything its Yosuke who's suffering the most right now.

(Why did they all even risk their emotions like this? Bruce wishes he could do the same, in a way. But he can't.)]

...I wasn't sure until him, actually. [Until that point he had nothing to prove himself and his (presumably now justified) paranoia.] But after him, I knew there was more. I just couldn't think who else would be able to do it.

[After all its not as if... Bruce allowed himself to try and get close to anybody. For this reason, and for many others. And then he was trying with Sigrun, and looked where that got him.]
