micehell's Pieces confirms something I've suspected for a long, long time: even though Sports Night is a "realistic" fandom, good characterisation lets you get away with amazing things.

The words have barely left his mouth when the tiny little version of Dana that he usually only sees when he's drunk - or really screwing up - appears on his shoulder, arms crossed and foot tapping. She doesn't say a word, but the look on her face is eloquent, and the memory of the grief he gave back is in both their heads. Or really just Casey's, considering that Little Dana is a figment of his imagination. And even though amazingly life-like, miniature versions of his boss are probably a sign that he's going to turn out just like his Uncle Albert, he doesn't want to consider what it would mean if she isn't.

The idea that Casey genuinely sees Little Dana when he screws up is both incredibly, incredibly amusing and also very easy to believe.
