[Simon's outside. It's late, where he is. Or very early. He doesn't sound nervous, or scared. He doesn't sound sad or excited, or determined or anything. Just... very tired. Emotionally tired. Blank. Not normal for him--normally he's so emotional. Perhaps something has happened? No, just a virus.]
… I've been thinking about it a lot lately. I don't think it would be so bad to die, you know? I mean, I'd miss Nia. And Yoko, and Rossiu and the rest of the dan. Katio and Minato and everybody else, here, too. And I know it would hurt them if I left... but... I don't think I'd mind a rest.
I'm tired of being tired. I don't know if anyone else gets that, but I am. I just want to close my eyes and not be afraid of sleeping. I'm sick of having nightmares. I'm sick...
I'm sick of thinking.
I don't get why everyone depends on me so much. I'm just a kid... I can't do much, and...
I don't even know if I can win. What if I let everybody down again? What if I mess up or-but I can't right? I mean... if we lose... everyone dies.
… It doesn't seem so bad, from what Aniki says, though.
Maybe I'd get to see Mom and Dad again... It's... been a long time. And Aniki would be there.
… A lot of people died. Minato... said he died, too.
I can't die... Too many people need me...
But maybe it'd be nice to sleep without dreaming.
[OOC: He does this normally. At least kind of. He's being very blunt, and he has been thinking about this a lot.]
