Summary
Jason Todd should be dead.
He's been living on a timer, always aware that eventually, it'll run out. Jason was only brought back to help people, even if he let himself get caught up in his own wants. Now, he isn't needed anymore.
The rot sets in and he slowly feels his body decay, pushing past it to do as much as he can before he dies. Jason starts avoiding people, not wanting to subject them to the sight or smell of his rotting flesh. They'd pity him, he doesn't deserve it. He doesn't want them to mourn him, at least not whilst he's still here. Still technically alive. Jason doesn't want to be mourned, not when all he craves is the peace of death.
Jason Todd dies alone, wrapped in a shroud of bloody cloth in his safehouse, the stench of rot and vomit permeating the air.
