Simon swallows past the lump in his throat and nods. “It can be repaired?” he croaks out.
“We can’t promise that,” Felice says at the same time as Henry mutters “It’s going to be really fucking hard.”
“We’re going to try. We’ll do everything we can, Simon,” Wilhelm tells him and comes to crouch next to Felice. “We’ll start going over everything we know right now and put together a plan to fix things. You don’t have to stay, it’s probably going to take hours so it’s better you get some rest—”
Simon shakes his head so vigorously it almost hurts. “No.”
“I’ll ask Maddie to take you to the sleeping space, give you something—”
“No, I want to stay. Please,” Simon pleads between gasps for breath.
He doesn’t notice Wilhelm and Felice exchange worried looks. “Okay. You stay here,” Wilhelm says softly.
Simon stays, but doesn’t really hear, let alone understand, most of what happens around him during the next hours. Because all he can think about is why he hadn’t seen this coming, why his visions had failed him.
