[There are a lot of places to begin. Even though it's the "truth," there are a lot of holes missing. There are a lot of revelations in there, and Jason decides to take it one by one. After all, he needs to figure out who said those things to him, what the nightmares were about, and what he had been trying to fix.
After all, Jason knows a lot about being unable to fix something. He was unable to help his mother fix their home situation after his father vanished, and he was unable to fix her health as she slowly withered away and died. He was unable to fix the world with Bruce, and he was unable to fix himself, turning himself into a better Robin. Now, he's even more unable to make himself into something different—something better. Unlike that picture of that boy named Tim Drake, he doesn't smile with a light in his eyes, well aware of only the darkness that clouds all of his actions.
He may be utterly convinced that he knows better, but he had his own harp experience last month. He remembers being so caught up in a delusion that he couldn't realize the false nature of it until he he had already started hurting Loki. Those doubts won't help Jason much, but he also knows they'll ground him. He has to let them seep in and keep himself from being lost in another delusion. Maybe the doubts will be the key to fixing him.
But they won't help Hiro. Jason may not be able to help anything within his reach, but Hiro's always remained just outside of it, hasn't he?]
I need more details, [he finally says.] How many times were you arrested? Who lectured you? Did this happen before or after the hero gig?
