   Summary

   Simon focused on the view. So many stars. They were beautiful, and he was happy they'd be the last thing he'd see.
   "I'm ready." Simon whispered into the still air. The combing stopped, and Simon mourned the loss immediately.
   "You can kill me now."
   AKA: What if Simon misinterpreted why Grace was showing him the Greenhouse? Our bodies become the soil, after all.
