This is a really great description of Simon, and a wonderful warning from Lux. Just... something about this paragraph:
"When...when this man, when Simon...He doesn't mean it. He doesn't intend it. No, he intends to help, to do the right thing. And he is...he will be so sorry when it's over, so very sorry, you cannot possibly comprehend his grief, his regret...but you will be just as dead. And it will be awful, Mariko, an awful, terrible way to die..."
no subject
