 "It doesn't matter if I didn't mean to.

What’s the point in hiding? All I've got are smoky rooms and issues And around eighty seven nightmares All I've got are catalysts and horrors Like the world has never seen All I've got are coffee mugs and mirrors and halls And survivor's guilt So tell me: what's the point in hiding? They’re just gonna find me.” |

| It's a disease. You see how this spreads. If there's someone left you have to kill them. And then yourself. |
| When Entry #87 was at last uploaded to the Marble Hornets YouTube channel, Tim had nurtured the fleeting hope that he could finally be done with the problems that had plagued every step of his waking life. A fool's hope, he would learn, as no more than two months later, he found himself stirring awake in the Castle in the Mist, fighting another god's war between the light and the dark. In his brief tenure in Sol Raveh, Tim would garner the impression that he's done more harm, in the long run, than he has good. His last act was attempting to ease another's way, and dying because of it. He does not blame them; given the road he'd been traveling down back home, such an end would be inevitable. As it happens, it was not - for he would awaken one day in the archipelago of LifeAftr, alive once more. Unfortunately. With a lifetime of faulty medical history, in and out of hospitals for most of his childhood, constantly stalked by the rake-thin, faceless entity known as the Operator, Tim remains under the impression that he has only ever hurt those with whom he's come into contact. Alex Kralie's parting words still linger in the back of his head - that he is the source of the Operator's presence, that he heralds Its influence, and that none of Its machinations will end until Tim himself is dead. Cursed from the cradle, broken from the womb, all he can do is hope that in LifeAftr, perhaps there's a chance he can minimize the damage he has the potential to do. Or maybe that, too, will be a fool's hope in the end. |

May these words be the first to find your ears
The world is brighter than the sun now that you're here
Though your eyes will need some time to adjust
To the overwhelming light surrounding us
'Cause you are loved
You are loved more than you know
I hereby pledge all of my days
To prove it so
Though your heart is far too young to realize
The unimaginable light you hold inside
I'll give you everything I have
I'll teach you everything I know
I promise I'll do better
I will always hold you close
But I will learn to let you go
I promise I'll do better
I will rearrange the stars
Pull 'em down to where you are
I promise I'll do better
With every heartbeat I have left
I'll defend your every breath
I promise I'll do better
I will soften every edge
Hold the world to its best
I'll do better
They're another child the world has failed to protect. He doubts he can be that shield for their sake - nor can he promise that he won't be another burden on their shoulders. But he has no intention of becoming their responsibility, or anyone else's. While initially set on becoming their cover story, things have grown considerably more complicated over time. The failure of ERASURE, the subsequent conflict between the two children, and the violent struggle that ensued between them at last forced Tim to intervene in a far more immediate sense than he ever wanted to.
Perhaps that's the worst part: the part where he knows they won't be angry at him for stepping in.
