Summary
The real haunting begins.
After surviving the hallucinations of his dead little brother, Dick Grayson was starting to heal.
Then the Red Hood walked into his apartment.
Not a dream. Not a ghost.
Jason Todd is alive.
What does Dick do? Well, he makes the (very big) ghost of his baby brother a bowl of cereal. Because even after all this time, he still can’t tell him to go away.
Now, Dick has to face the grief that nearly killed him.
And the little brother he never closed the door on.

Summary
Crossing his ankles propped on the table, jostling his helmet next to him, his mouth quirked up. “At least I’m not you, who sees the idiot as some sort of pseudo father figure.”
Dick choked on his coffee, and Damian sputtered and took a step back. “What?!”
“You heard me.” He thumbed in the direction of Dick, who clumsily tried to mop up the hot liquid staining his shirt and scalding his skin with a crusty dishrag that smelled like mildew. “You see him in a way you don’t your own dear old dad.”
Damian’s cheeks darkened in a deep flush that even reddened the tips of his ears. “You don’t know what you’re talking about!”

Summary
/ækˈsizməs/
noun
1. when one feigns disinterest or indifference for something they desire
2. a form of ironyExample: Dick buys two birthday cards for Damian. One starts with “For my son,” and the other says “To a cool guy.” Dick gives Damian the latter, and keeps the former locked away. He doesn’t need to make this into something it’s not.
Or, Dick is tasked with raising Damian in the wake of Bruce’s death. This is the fallout of their separation upon Bruce’s sudden and unexpected return.
