    Summary

    He'd asked them, angry and terrified and desperate to be let out of that fucking submarine, how many more times they were going to use him, as though he didn't already know the answer.

    Until you break. Until you're more useful dead than you are alive.

    Perhaps Simon's true punishment had been endurance.

    OR: As things start to settle between him and Ryland, Simon is faced with the reality of everything that has happened to him, scars and nightmares and everything in-between. The luxury of choice is new and terrifying, and Simon finds himself teetering on the edge of another abyss every time he looks himself in the eye, Ryland's footsteps embedded into the ash beside him. Healing is slow, and patience has never been one of Simon's virtues.
