    Summary

    It’s a slow process that tears Dick apart.

    Time becomes irrelevant when days begin to blend into each other. The lapses in his memory don’t seem concerning until he finds himself completing tasks he doesn’t remember starting.

    The family fails to notice his radio silence as anything unusual until it becomes, quite possibly, too late.

    Summary

    They don’t happen often—once a month or so, with varying degrees of spottiness. Sometimes Dick will walk into a room and forget what he’s there for. He’ll forget the locations of things, like where he left his keys or where the refrigerator is. Once he forgot his own name.

    Even if the episodes don’t occur often, that doesn’t make them any less terrifying.

    His name is Dick Grayson. He is at Wayne Manor. It’s five in the morning.
