[Kon reads the self-hugging gesture as Tim needing comfort and gently wraps his arms around him. The world is blocked out by broad shoulders and strong arms that envelope him.]

[One hand pets the hair on the back of his head.]

It'll eventually fade so it's less intense. It'll just take time.

[Sensations due to trauma fade. Kon has almost forgotten how it felt for Tim wrist bones to crush in his hand like chalk. He's almost forgotten the loud shredding crunch of Cyborg's metal body as he ripped parts of it apart. He's almost forgotten the feeling of Cassie's face being slammed by his knuckles.]

Usually you're able to push past stuff like this but this one was...extra bad. It makes sense that there's more that's involuntary. But it'll pass. In the meantime just venting the feelings will help. Crying's good for you if you're hurting. It does a bunch of stuff to help your brain.

That's, like, science.

Sometimes, if something hurts and it's too big to shove in a box, letting yourself feel it is how you can work through and let it go.
