it's dangerous to go alone. take him with you
‘Brambly Hedge’ by Jill Barklem
I think the only Bat character that should be able to do the whole “oh yeah I did this totally crazy thing” that the others are shocked by should be Cass
“When my nineteen-year-old son turns on the kitchen tap and leans down over the sink and tilts his head sideways to drink directly from the stream of cool water, I think of my older brother, now almost ten years gone, who used to do the same thing at that age; And when he lifts his head back up and, satisfied, wipes the water dripping from his cheek with his shirtsleeve, it’s the same casual gesture my brother used to make; and I don’t tell him to use a glass, the way our father told my brother, because I like remembering my brother when he was young, decades before anything went wrong, and I like the way my son becomes a little more my brother for a moment through this small habit born of a simple need, which, natural and unprompted, ties them together across the bounds of death, and across time … as if the clear stream flowed between two worlds and entered this one through the kitchen faucet, my son and brother drinking the same water.”

neway positive headcanon to make up for the negativity.
Cass watches daytime TV to understand 'normal people'.
I think if recently-robined Damian expresses interest in understanding 'normal people' more* she and Damian should watch daytime TV together.
*he has to express interest in it b/c Cass wouldn't want to try to force anyone to be 'normal' since she felt pressured into doing 'normal girl' stuff during her batgirl run w/ babs

We all agree Cassandra is the bat most likely to have tasted human flesh yes?
Batgirls!
The thing about cozy grove is yes it's real-time resource management daily life sim where the gameplay is 100% repetitive fetch questing, but coming back every day isn't a chore because it gives me surprisingly compelling and deep bites of story about dead people recovering their lost memories for hitting quest milestones instead of idk a gold star or whatever it is I get for playing animal crossing, I honestly don't even remember
