been thinking about simon. about how he's been on death row until the day before his execution. about how he's been sacrificed himself for athena, about how aura then sacrificed herself for him, in the way he did for athena all those years ago. how he had his autonomy and future stripped from him, and how detached from himself he must have grown to cope, how he must have accepted his death early on as an unchangeable fact. how he has so much love for the people around him but its been so long he doesnt even know them anymore. how he still works for the same system that wrongfully inflicted years of trauma and abuse on him. how his only "friend" who electroshocked him daily turned out to be the very culprit simon was accused of being. how he studied psychology only to become so immensely traumatized that it will take the rest of his life to heal.
