American comic book police officer survival manual

The more you fear, the more you will lose.

Looking back on her life, Pamela's eyes revealed a deep gloom.

Miss Harleen is right.

She was so insignificant... There were thousands upon thousands of girls like her in Gotham.

Turning her head, she could see her reflection in the glass. Recalling Miss Harleen's beauty and confidence, Pamela grew increasingly insecure...

Compared to that doctor who looked so radiant and dazzling, she was so small and insignificant.

If someone like me can't achieve something, I probably can't find happiness.

If we simply maintain the status quo and continue in this manner, will he find it boring and leave?

Looking back at the store entrance, Harleen was smiling and saying goodbye to Lucius.

Comparing their appearances and personalities, Pamela suddenly felt that they might be a better match...

No, you can't think like that!

Her face was slightly pale. The girl covered her cheeks, took deep breaths while trembling, and tried to suppress her intense heart palpitations.

The thought of possibly being separated from Lucius would send Pamela into a state of uncontrollable panic.

For almost all of her life, that person had been the only light and warmth...

Miss Harleen is right.

You must be brave and have the ability to match Lucius in order to maintain this relationship healthily.

Therefore, simply becoming an ordinary college student is not enough...

Participation in professors' experiments is essential to gain greater academic recognition and achieve more success...

......

At the entrance of the coffee shop, Harleen, with a mischievous grin on her face, patted Lucius's arm:

"Alright, I've taken care of your girlfriend."

"nailed it?"

Looking at Pamela, who was sitting with her head down in the coffee shop, Lucius didn't understand what Harleen meant by "got it done".

"Didn't I ask you to help her determine her future career plan?"

"Yes, I shattered that girl's illusions and plunged her into self-doubt. At that point, all you need to do is show a little kindness and say a few nice words, and that girl will be completely under your control."

Seemingly unaware that she had done anything wrong, Harlin, who considered herself to have done a great favor, tilted her beautiful face up with an expression that said, "How are you going to thank me?"

"But I asked you to come here to alleviate her anxiety, not to create it!!!"

Hearing Harlin's ordinary yet terrifying words, Lucius, horrified, realized that he seemed to have brought in the wrong doctor.

When confronted by a shocked Lucius, Harleen shrugged, a hint of roguishness on her pretty face: "Who cares? I have my own treatment method~"

Letting that naive girl rethink this relationship is indeed the best way to dispel her confusion.

It's just that Harlin's methods were a bit too cruel and direct, which Pamela might not be able to accept in the short term.

"Harleen...I hope you can use a gentler approach..."

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. I'm just a naughty psychologist; I love making wicked jokes~"

Harleen flashed a cool smile at Lucius and blinked her bright eyes.

"If you have a similar problem again, feel free to come to me. If your fragile little heart can handle it."

"...I'll handle it myself."

Helplessly rubbing his forehead, Lucius confirmed that the girl in the coffee shop was in an unprecedentedly low state, and he really didn't know what to say.

"Okay, but you'd better remember to reciprocate next time I help you out this time."

Harleen stared at Lucius's face and gave him a meaningful smile.

She wasn't about to make this trip for nothing. It was rare to encounter a man she liked; if she didn't give it a try, she wouldn't be Harleen Quinzel...

"Okay, okay, I'll definitely come next time you call me."

Lucius waved to Harleen, indicating that she should leave on her own. At the moment, Lucius was thinking about how to comfort Pamela and had no mood to continue joking with the beauty.

"...snort."

The smile on her face gradually faded, and she gave the police officer a disgruntled look before turning away decisively.

It would be best if the girl could recognize her shortcomings and muster the courage to begin her transformation.

But if she can't do that... Harlink will prove with concrete actions that in America, a country that values ​​strength and the strong, love doesn't discriminate based on who came first.

Whoever grabs it first gets to keep it!

......

In the blink of an eye, another half hour had passed.

As the girl finally emerged slowly from the coffee shop, Lucius cautiously asked her a question.

"Are you feeling better?"

Although Pamela pondered for a long time in the coffee shop, when she came out, the expression on her face seemed to become exceptionally firm.

Lucius had never seen such an expression on Pamela's face before. Although the girl seemed to have a clear goal, he was still very worried about her state of mind.

"Yes, I've made up my mind! I'm going to conduct experiments with the professor. I want to go further in my studies!"

Clenching her right fist and passionately expressing her thoughts, Pamela then noticed that Lucius's face seemed to be filled with worry.

The determination in her eyes slowly faded, and in front of her beloved, Pamela's expression returned to its usual gentleness.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself..."

"I know... I just want to say, don't take Harlin's words too seriously. Sometimes you don't have to force yourself. It's perfectly fine to be more patient with yourself."

Knowing what Harleen had said to Pamela, Lucius found it difficult to accept her logic.

"Whether you feel timid or not when facing someone important has nothing to do with your ability. Maybe it's just that you care too much about the other person's feelings, which is why you're so careful in everything you do..."

In a normal world, Lucius would certainly give a thousand hands to support his partner's ambitious ideas.

But this is Gotham... Lucius was genuinely worried that Pamela might grit her teeth and do something extreme, or that she might be affected by some terrible event.

Ha, damn it.

Before Harleen came to persuade him, Lucius thought it was a good thing to let Pamela continue her studies.

But after that joking psychologist came, Lucius became even more worried about Pamela's mental health!

"You see... I'm usually quite careful too... We're actually pretty much the same."

He's so timid, he wouldn't even touch Pamela's leg.

"..."

Seeing Lucius awkwardly scratching his head in front of her, looking embarrassed as if he wanted to comfort her but couldn't find the words, Pamela pursed her lips and silently hugged the person who truly cared about her.

"I will grow up... I definitely will!"

Because this person is so important, we must take control of our own destiny!

Feeling the girl's determination in his arms, Lucius's thoughts were becoming increasingly distraught.

No, honey, she CPUs you!

Watching Pamela leave in a huff, as if she were determined to fight life to the death, Lucius looked at the increasingly gloomy sky, his eyelids twitching inexplicably.

He had a feeling that something bad was going to happen today...
