Of course seeing Kal on his knees in the amphitheater would speak to him, the fresh loss of his human parents. Given the age difference in this verse, with the training they've done, Kal would be more like a Robin to him, as much as his war-torn heart would allow. You even had Dick notice the physical similarities.
And Kal so broken now, on walkabout, the hero's journey, the long dark night of the soul.
As ever, your writing is so evocative and your world-building skills are tremendous. I adore your language, the detail.
I apologize for not commenting, but I've just had some time to read up on chapter fic - and of course, yours is one of the first that I had to consume.
(By the way, chapter 3, I believe, is not tagged.)
