It wasn't firm or commanding, of course. More like begging that, what, quarter of an hour of delay before he had to deal with more such flashbacks. Dick was just pretty much still reeling from this one. It hadn't been just visual remembering. The sense of loss had cut him deep, to the core. A breather was reasonable, right?
