BloodyMary, but give me a Simon who doesn't freak out right away. Give me a Simon who is quiet at first. Who just does whatever Grace and Rocky say. Who keeps waiting for the other shoe to drop. Because this is clearly too good to be true.
Give me a Simon who doesn't freak out, until he realizes he is actually safe. No one here is going to hurt him, going to send him back into the blood ocean. Then he freaks out over something small. Maybe he breaks a testube by accident. He screams and throws things. Because now he's ruined everything.
Give me a Grace who understands what a trama response looks like. Give me a Grace who meets Simon with kindness and compassion.
