Summary
The knife pushes thin along Dick’s carotid artery, cupping the indent between neck and jawline—forcing him to angle his chin. The metal is warm, pulled with execution speed from under Damian’s pillow.
“Okay,” Dick says quietly, tracking the intricacies of his own heartbeat—counting the space between breaths. “Guess I did need a shave.”
(With faltering steps, Dick and Damian become Batman and Robin.)

Summary
In his home country, Damian was familiar with receiving punishments for his actions. He knew what the repercussions were for sloppiness in his hand-to-hand combat, or miscalculations in his arithmetics. He made improvements based on this feedback. He liked knowing exactly what he needed to do.
With Bruce, however, there is nothing to build on. There is retribution, but not any chances for improvement.
It unravels Damian. He can deal with many things, but not this. He can take anger, but this is indifference.
In his first year as Robin, Damian struggles. Not with his training or his academics, but with a hurdle much more formidable: his relationship with the people who are supposed to be his family.
