Tim Drake is very good at compartmentalization. He simply doesn’t have the time to juggle his own personal feelings and get his job done at the same time, so it’s really just better for everyone if he keeps said feelings under lock and key. It makes him a ruthless detective, and occasionally a shitty friend, but mostly it saves him from the kind of grief that would have buried him six feet under long ago if he let it. Maybe that’s callus and if he ever manages to get a therapist who isn’t a supervillain, they might venture to call it denial, but Tim’s a survivor, and this is the cost of it. AKA It takes Tim years to realize what's always been there.
