Harry was walking through the halls of Wayne's manor. He had once more woken up from his nightmares. He had spent much of the night talking to Tony. He had not quite wanted to talk to him, but the man had been nice enough. They had talked about tech, Harry didn't know a whole lot of tech, but he thought it was interesting. He had actually learned a lot, the only reason he stopped talking, was because Bruce intervened to take him home. Harry had been sent to his bed, and of course, Harry had not yet eaten. He had not been able to eat during the gala, and was not given food when he got home. He was used to not eating, but it still wasn't fun. Still, he had went to bed, but couldn't sleep because of the nightmares. Harry assumed that he wouldn't be allowed to eat anything, since Bruce had not fed him. He instead went to the game room, he sat down. Harry turned on the console, and started up Stardew Valley. Jason had a save file for him, and Harry booted that up.

Harry spent several hours playing Stardew, it was around 3:30 am, and Harry had yet to sleep. Cassandra walked in, and immediately saw that Harry was up. "Harry, what are you doing still awake? You should have been in bed hours ago." She asked, sitting down beside him, immediately seeing that he was not only hungry and tired, but also scared and sad. "Nightmares, I'm playing Stardew Valley." Cassandra put an arm around him, drawing him into a side hug. "Ah, Nightmares, I've been there. What are you having nightmares over, and... why are you hungry, didn't you eat dinner?" Harry sighs, and starts explaining, "It was just over the dur-", he looks up at her, "how do you know I'm hungry?" She smiles softly, "I can just read people", she says softly. Harry nods, before going back to explaining. "It was over the Dursley's and the way they treated me. They weren't very nice, but they were... family. They made me feel worthless, but I'm fine. I didn't get to eat tonight, Da-Bruce just sent me to bed. I don't think I'm allowed to tonight." Cassandra just hugs him tighter, and pats his back. He curls into her a little, and closes his eyes. He falls asleep, and she holds him through the rest of the night. She nods off around 4:00.

Alfred walks in at 5:30, and Cassandra immediately wakes up. She puts a finger to her mouth, before gesturing to Harry. She signs out how he hasn't eaten, because Bruce forgot that Harry is a little different. Alfred nods, before heading to the kitchen and starting breakfast. Cassandra falls back asleep, and they continue sleeping, until around 7:25. She wakes up, and wakes him up as well. Harry looks at her, eyes bleary, before adjusting his glasses. "Thanks... I'm sorry for falling asleep on you." Cassandra looks at Harry, and says softly, "it's ok, Harry, I don't mind." Harry nods, before standing up off the couch, he helps her up, and they both head into the dining room. Everyone else had already eaten, but Alfred put food down for them. Harry sits down beside Cassandra, and follows her lead, hoping he won't get yelled at for eating.
