[it wasn't me he types out and immediately erases, because arguing those kinds of details isn't going to help anything, is it. tim doesn't know the entirety of this jason's story, but what jason's finally telling him about sounds like a variation on the theme of the story he already knows.]
He must've thought you were dead, Jason. I can't believe there's any version of him on any world where he wouldn't look for you if he believed you were still alive.
[tim hesitates for a moment, deciding whether to include an example. would it help jason to know what happened to his counterpart here? maybe. it's worth trying, at least.]
The Jason Todd from this world did die - not at Arkham, the circumstances were different, but it was at the Joker's hands. Batman lost who he was without Robin. I didn't intend to become Robin myself - I tried to get Dick to go back and help Batman, but he wouldn't listen to me. I don't know if it's the same for the Tim Drake you know, but if he's anything like me, he wasn't trying to replace you - he just wanted to help.
