Mr. Weisman,

At the time of this posting, I was surprised that Beast Boy admitted to Black Canary that he needed help to deal with his grief. Was this your plan all along for his storyline?

I have to admit to you here, I have read on the internet months ago that seem to imply that his depression was going to ultimately lead him to commit suicide. In fact, when I saw his therapy session with Black Canary, I was honestly worried that he was going to have a full mental breakdown and then admit to her that he actually didn't want to deal with pain and grief that came with the culmination of losses that he suffered over the years, and that he would then admit to her that he actually wanted to die so that his pain and grief would end. But don't get the wrong idea though; I'm actually glad that it did NOT ultimately come down to that when his confession scene happened.

However, even with Beast Boy admitting to Black Canary that he needs help, and the damage that he caused to his own life (harshly pushing everyone away, leaving Space Trek 3016, and breaking up with Perdita), the next important question is this: At this point, is it too late for him to reconcile with Perdita and his friends, and has the damage been done to the point that he can't go back to the way things were even if his mental health improves?
