   Summary

   This was a slippery slope. Slipperier than growing too comfortable on Erid and in the house with Grace. Slipperier than falling into the wrong crowd on Eden and ending up in prison. Slipperier than the blood as it poured in through the gashes of the submarine.

   But he just didn’t care.

   ... OR ...

   Simon wakes up in an unknown place with the scars of his previous life etched onto his skin. As he struggles to pull himself into focus, and listen to the angel living here who's spouting off information, he realizes that the C.O.I. and Eden can no longer reach him. For some reason... that stings. As Simon attempts to get used to his new appearance from his time in the submarine and figure out how to uphold Eden's legacy, Simon realizes that he may have a bigger problem to deal with. The pain from his injuries is manageable, it's the newfound knot in his stomach that's confusing. While Grace is focused on how Simon even ended up on Erid in the first place, Simon spends his time focused on a much brighter, more bubbly individual...

   Aka: Simon POV! YEAAAAAAHHHH!!!
