Summary
Flying back to Cherry Street, weaving reckless in the dark, it comes down to this: Dick is the only one of his siblings that Jason has any real claim on. Dick is the only one of that whole mess of victims to Batman's cult of self-immolation who belongs to Jason. Even more than that - Dick is the only person in the world who he shares a parent with, who knows what it meant to be the Robin to Batman of nearly ten years ago.
It's just not the same anymore.
So if Dick fucking kicks it, Jason's the only one left. Jason becomes an only child. Jason becomes the last of his kind. Jason becomes the sole keeper of that memory, of a brotherhood shared under a man who no longer exists. There is no way to replace Dick, because the world that they lived in together is gone, and can never give Jason a surrogate.
The Red Hood pulls the thread on a mystery big enough to bridge the distance between two cities, two brothers: The plot they unravel is far deeper and darker than a garden-variety drug trafficking scheme. A story about siblingship, hauntings, and rivers.
1. Ostium, osti(i): Latin noun, II Declension: Door, opening; (river) mouth; entrance (to the underworld).

Summary
Ronan's heart constricts painfully. He's got the urge to pull Gansey upright and shake him until he snaps out of this, and he tries to steady himself. He pulls Gansey's head forward until his forehead is resting heavily against Ronan's hip, and squeezes the back of Gansey's neck again, massaging the tense muscles with broad sweeps of his thumb. His other hand runs over Gansey's scalp, the same way he brushes his hand over Chainsaw's feathers. As always, words get caught in his throat without making it to his lips, and he tries to transmit them in the movements of his hands. I've got you. You’re alright.
