Damian grew on me, as did this story.
I found Bruce's obsession with the computer simulation very believable, and hit home... in a way that I think most of us can envision. We may not be capable of the physical force of Batman, or relate to his wealth, but we can imagine ourselves in that torture seat... running the simulator over and over. Alfred's take at the end was beautifully done, and we're given a perfectly brief expansion of the circle of grief and widening sense of loss and love at the end.
