Adding onto the nightmare thing before my next class starts (hopefully)
Before Crow started sleeping with Count Raven, any time they woke up from a nightmare, they would put their mask on, just to reassure that no one would be able to see or look at their face (and also so they don't have to look at their face)
When they start sleeping with Count Raven, he runs his knuckles along the scars and Crowbar immediately prefers that over putting the mask back on.
When he leaves, they try to mimic what Count did with his fingers before one night, giving up and just putting the mask back on, noting that it takes longer for them to calm down with the mask than it did with Count Raven
This reminds me of the idea I had where after Count Raven leaves, Crowbar makes up a replacement item (like a pillow or something) and lays with it on their torso, pretending it’s the Count in loaf mode
