[Kon kneels down in front of him, in part to shield him from the others. A kneeling Kon is plenty big enough to block anyone's view of a sitting Tim.]

[Tim doesn't get this emotional often and he knows he gets a bit embarrassed about it.]

[Kon's voice is very gentle.]

That's not how emotional biz works.

You got a bunch of us back but that doesn't magically erase how bad it hurt to lose us. Or how scared you must feel about the prospect of losing us again.

[He's finally honest. Finally brings it around to the reason he knows that Tim wonders why he can't just shove his emotions down.]

I know it's like...

Bats just breezes past things the second the problem is fixed, so it probably feels like 'hey it's fixed, they're back now, so I should stop feeling this way' but the reason you don't just instantly snap to it is because of how much you care.

And because of how you can open up a lot more than he can. Which sucks in some ways because the hurt can get etched in deeper.

[He puts his hands on his shoulders.]

But the way you care, some of the ways you're different from him, that's also why your friends love you so much.
