  Summary

  After deciding to take a break from Robin, Tim tries to discover what he wants in life while also doing his best to mend his relationship with Damian, who is upset at his big brother for leaving, and mantain a decent enough relationship with Bruce, who is supportive but distant. Luckily, Bernard is there for Tim along the way.
