guilt or manipulation?

13/14 (Quote from The Southern Reach series by Jeff Vandermeer)

“Simon’s being pessimistic” yes. And?

Just want to address this one line “so, kill ourselves”. To a certain degree, he’s joking. But from his perspective? Kinda sounds like what the alien is asking him to do.

What he’s trying to do when he’s saying stuff like this, is to offer a bit of humor, but also while doing that, remind Grace that they’re in uncharted waters, and to be cautious.

Because to him when Rocky is asking them to take off their helmets, Simon doesn’t know it’s oxygen in there! All he knows is that the alien has just told them take off their helmets when there’s hot anomia in there that could kill them.

Which, to him, kinda sounds like “hey, go do this thing which will 100% kill you painfully”

So he’s saying “hey, this is a kinda fucking crazy ask from this person, don’t just immediately trust it, that could be dangerous and might kill us”.

He has the fate of humanity and his boyfriend friend’s life all resting on his shoulders. At the same time, he recognizes without Grace, he’s not sure if he would be able to do this mission without the science know-how. And can they afford to take a risk like that with such high stakes?

So he’s extra cautious. Extra suspicious. Because he’s scared.
