[ Dick asks if she's okay, but he doesn't mention Jason again and that's a relief. that's really it. it's all he knows.
when Dawn looks at him and say that things are getting better, he finally looks down. Dick would lose his absolute mind if he knew- but he doesn't, and maybe things can start to get better.
he realizes then that this might be the last time he ever really hears Dick's voice. Jason wishes he could talk to him one last time, but he knows he can't. and he shouldn't. it's good for them that he just disappeared into the ether. they can move on freely and forget about him and maybe heal until he's nothing. nothing but a distant, painful memory that they'll try not to think of again.
it's then that he can't take it anymore and he gets up quietly, wiping at his eyes as he ducks away to the bedroom.
they're okay, and it's done. it's all over. that life is over. ]
