Damian's known that Kyle has been back in his room for hours. But he had to make sure they were all safe and secured before he can take time on his own. (Knowing that Zatanna is safe and secured is how he's certain the Lantern has returned.)
So it's a really really late (early) hour of the night when he shows up. His motions are quieter and more precise than ever; he's paying a lot of attention to them. The lack of sleep has brought him to the point where everything is etched inside his mind in odd clarity, each moment like a separate reality that he comes into and leaves, the boundaries distinct and bright.
He's been there before. He can go on for a while, yet, before it gets to be dangerous. Maybe 48, 60 hours yet.
He'll deal with that when he comes to it.
For now, there is Kyle Rayner, approaching the window of his own room with a knife in his hand in the night.
Ah.
"That bad."
Not a question, an observation.
It's only his body that half eases at the sight, saying, I'm glad you're alive.
KYYYYLE
