Simon has heard of cults, in this day and age who hasn’t? There’s so much information out there. Documentaries on how bad some of the cults are. The downfall of them, all the death.

But what about the cults that are still active? The ones still actively harming people. Simon never thought that would be a problem he’d have to deal with. He’d never get involved in a cult or meet someone who has, right?

That is until he met you. Such a lovely person, so sweet and nice. Simon loved being around you, loved being able to become your friend. He did notice some odd habits about you, but he ignored it.

Until one day you decided to open up to him and everything changed.

You grew up in a cult, an actual cult. Simon could feel his heart drop with every detail of your childhood. How could someone do all that to a sweet innocent child?

And suddenly all your odd habits made sense. You weren’t just weird and strange, you were traumatized. You were trying to understand how to live in a world after having to survive the unthinkable. You 're trying to live for yourself and not what others told you you are supposed to do.

And Simon? Now he was determined to help you. He was going to stick by your side no matter what happened.
