[Jason nearly collapses. The shock of that memory.... no, it was memories. It was a wave of memories he just went through. They were the memories of a deeply traumatized and troubled man.
What was the Stamford incident? How could so many people have died? How could so many children have died? It's easy to loathe Robbie but the overwhelming sense of guilt and despair over all those deaths isn't what a monster would feel. Whatever the full story is, it can't be good. But can't have been something Robbie did on purpose. Could it? He has too much remorse.
Jason's heart also sinks knowing this was the same man he had such a fun conversation with at the bookstore. but it explains the books Robbie was buying. It also explains the brief glimpses of darkness Jason caught from Robbie, both as a civilian and as Speedball.
Feeling ready to give up one's life and that no one will miss him is also disturbingly familiar to him. It's happened to him more than he would like to admit.
After what feels like a very long silent moment, Jason finally steps forward and reaches to touch Robbie on the shoulder]
Robbie?
[Jason's voice doesn't have his usual deep Red Hood growl. It sounds more like the man Robbie talked to at the bookstore, though not as light as during that encounter]
