Summary
Kon looks at him, then looks back at the horizon. “Do you ever see all these windows and just start wondering about other people’s lives?”
Not really. “Not sure I get what you mean there, Superboy.”
Kon points. “That building right there. All lit up. With the offices.” Tim sees it. “I think about who is inside it sometimes. I wish I could trade places. Just to know what it’s like.”
“Know what it’s like?”
Kon isn’t looking at Tim. “To be someone else.”
“I don’t want to be someone else,” Tim replies. “I just don’t think I want to be me.”
“Me too.”
“You too?”
“All the time,” Kon says.
