There's a long pause while Dick takes that in, watching Bruce and his movements, his reactions. They're to be expected, but also...so much more open than usual.

"Tim's parents were brought by that energy, too. He hasn't changed age, but that doesn't mean much. They probably would have reacted the way they did if he was back home, and they learned about...everything."

He steps forward, placing a comforting hand on Bruce's shoulder. "I can't say that it doesn't contribute. That maybe some part of you wanted to go back to when life made more sense. Of course, whatever's causing this didn't affect your mind as well." So now he's a pre-teen with the mind and memories of a thirty-year-old. "So I'd say the theory holds up, at least somewhat."
