   Summary

   After Dick Grayson's death, Bruce creates an AI program using surveillance footage, audio files, and old text messages in an attempt to preserve some echo of his son. What begins as a means of coping soon becomes an obsession as the AI's responses grow increasingly resentful, blurring the line between Bruce's programming and his own guilt-ridden conscience.
