   Summary

   So, dead or alive? Abandoned or absolved? What was he– Simon the Convict, Simon the Butcher– against this backdrop of blackness? Nothing? Everything? Inconsequential? Pivotal? Thoughts eddy through his mind until he is drowning in them.

   Until he hears a noise.

   A sound that takes shape and defies his muddled understanding of his current existence. Wavelengths that weave the shredded actuality of Simon back into something whole, something that very nearly makes sense.

   A voice.

   ~OR~

   En route to Erid, Ryland Grace pulls Simon out of a blood soaked Iron Lung. Simon doesn't know what's real, what to believe, what to trust. Grace is kind and gentle and Simon wants so badly to be safe. But whatever put him in Grace's path to begin with doesn't seem to be done with him yet.
