I'm just tryin' to figure all of this out! None of it makes any sense to me.

[He hesitates to mention that he's alone in this. Technically, he isn't. Somehow, making friends was easier as a child.

Is that because he trusted people more easily? Or is because now, at his current age, he's just that hard to care about?

Wow. That hurts.]

You say you care about your friend, but you're just the worst. He doesn't even want to go with you! Urgh.

[As angry as Simon is, that all sounds frighteningly familiar. But in the end, hadn't he and Grace made up? He so desperately wants to go back to that. To return to the friendship that he does remember.]

He's so messed up right now.

Doesn't it hurt to see him like that? God, it makes me sad, for cryin' out loud.
