   Summary

   Grief doesn’t arrive all at once.
   Sometimes it waits. Sometimes it lingers. Sometimes it rewrites the rules of your body before you’re ready to face them.
   After losing Wally West, Dick Grayson struggles to hold himself together under Bruce’s watchful eye- until a routine investigation, a delayed truth, and a choice that can’t be made cleanly force everything into the open.
