The dim light of the safehouse catches the white tuft in Jason’s dark hair as he avoids eye contact. The air grows heavy with the memory of Talia al Ghul. He speaks of his first kiss not with romance, but with the detached tone of a recounting a battlefield injury—her sudden passion, the cliff’s edge, the fall. A dork in Austen novels, now a man who survived death, he shrugs off the trauma with a soft, understated 'it was okay.'
