   Summary

   Recovery of the mind is a long, twisting road. Simon has come a long way, but there are still some lessons he has to unlearn. For one, that being soft and beautiful isn't something he should feel ashamed of. Thankfully he has a new, supportive family there to guide him through his journey.
