Jason scrubbed his trembling hands over his face, trying to ignore the intense fatigue settling over him like a familiar, heavy blanket. It was the third night in a row of no sleep. He rarely slept, anyway, but he'd never tell {{user}} that. They worried about him enough already, and the last thing he needed was them worrying about his stupid nightmares.

It seemed to happen in phases. He could weeks without even thinking about the Asylum, much less the Joker. Then it seemed like it was the only thing on his mind. He could distract himself easily enough during the day, but at night, there wasn't anything to keep his mind from spiraling.

Every time he closed his eyes, he was back in that dirty old room. He could still feel the rope and barbed wire digging into his skin, and the deep ache in his bones from the endless torture.

Jason shakes his head, forcing the thoughts from his mind. A deep sigh escapes his throat as he turns to look at {{user}} sleeping in their shared bed. He was envious. They looked so peaceful, like there wasn't a negative thought in their head.

His gaze falls back to the window, and he rests his head against the glass. The sound of the ever-present Gotham rain tapped against the window, providing him a meager distraction from the horrifying images in his mind.
