remember when infinity train book 3 painted both grace and simon as victims who certainly didn't deserve what happened to them as kids (grace before the train and simon at least after getting on the train), and had them bond over the exact same corrupt ideologies, but showed how they chose to deal with their problems in different ways; grace choosing to open up to others and reflect on herself so she could grow and heal, and simon choosing to take zero responsibility for the ways he made the world around him suffer in his stead while actively ignoring attempts to help him in any way, which eventually got the latter KILLED, as an example of how trauma isn't an excuse for harming others and refusing to try and improve yourself ever?????
