I.
MAYBE IT’S BECAUSE HE MISSES HER ; maybe it’s because he knows she’ll always be a part of him , but ever since arriving in Castle Town , Simon . . . well , to put it blankly - Simon often speaks aloud to himself when he’s alone. Only , he doesn’t direct his words towards himself - he directs them to Sherry. It’s normally nothing of importance ; sometimes it’s , ❝ I hope you found that funny , Sherry , ❞ or , ❝ I hope somewhere you’re happy , Sherry , ❞ or , ❝ I can hear you laughing at me , Sherry. ❞ But sometimes the pain gets exceptionally bad , and Simon finds himself curled up on his bed and staring at the wall next to him - biting his bottom lip.❝ I hope you know how much I miss you , Sherry. ❞ And sometimes - sometimes he’ll sing to himself , imagining it’s her sweet voice over his less-than-savory one , to give him the illusion that although he’d never be the same with her as he was before , she’s still here.
