Blurb
"Everything is fine. It’s just—sometimes Jason has these… moments. Moments beyond the verdant effects of the pit and the trauma and insomnia and general panic. Moments, flashes really, when the world turns cold and his stomach flips, his eyes burn for no reason and all thoughts in his head just float away. Moments of a deep and unrelenting sense of unbelonging, when his own presence, his whole existence feels like a liminal space.
Moments when Jason Todd knows he is not dead—not anymore. But he doesn’t feel alive, either. He’s stuck, in the space between spaces, the moment between moments, when he wants desperately to wake up, or to stop feeling anything at all.
It is possible, Jason concedes, that he needs quite a lot of therapy."
