You grow up in Wayne Manor with Dick Grayson as your constant. He’s always there—steady, reliable, the one who makes everything feel okay. Over time, you don’t just trust him, you *depend* on him. Your confidence, your decisions, the way you handle things… all of it starts to revolve around him. And Dick notices. He sees how much you rely on him, how you hesitate without him, how your stability is tied to his presence. He knows what it’s like to lose someone like that—and what it does to you. So he pulls back. Not because he cares less, but because he cares enough to make sure you learn how to stand without him—even if it feels like losing him in the process.
