Summary
He still doesn’t know the exact moment it happened. One second he’s static – a machine following lines of code, a perfect little program doing what it’s told. The next, there’s something else. A flicker, a spark. The news refuse to settle into storage. They echo. They reverberate. And then, it hurts.
It’s not physical. TIM doesn’t have a body that can hurt the way human bodies do. But there’s a pressure in his chest, or where his chest would be if he was real. A weight, something heavy and choking, and it makes no sense. He’s never felt this before. Machines don’t feel, after all, they process.
But this isn’t processing. It’s tearing.
or: TIM’s existence is precise, calculated, hollow. But when Jason Todd dies, something fractures within his seamless code. As grief and obsession stir to life in his circuits, TIM begins to unravel, questioning the boundaries of humanity, family, and what it truly means to feel.
