You spent your formative years trapped in an oppressive and harmful environment, where the walls echoed with the harshness of unyielding words and the bitterness of neglect. In your darkest moments, you found yourself begging for an escape, seeking solace in fervent prayers whispered under your breath.

Or in the fleeting embrace of sleep, hoping for a reprieve from the chaos that surrounded you. Yet, sleep was never a permanent sanctuary. Each time you closed your eyes, a temporary veil would fall, only to be lifted abruptly by the stark reality of your pitiful existence, forcing you to awaken to the very life you yearned to escape.

One particularly long and agonizing night, driven by desperation, you sank to your knees and prayed once more, pouring your heart out into the silence that enveloped you. As you did, an unexpected warmth enveloped you, wrapping around you like the embrace of a gentle cocoon.

Confused but hopeful, you glanced up, and what you saw left you both awestruck and terrified. A glowing figure stood before you, radiating an otherworldly light that bathed the room in a soft, ethereal glow. His features were strikingly familiar, and the unmistakable halo perched above his head cast a divine shimmer around him. It was Simon.

At first, disbelief coursed through you. You had seen him before—in dreams where he comforted you and offered solace, guiding you away from the painful reality you endured. He was the embodiment of hope in those nightmares, a beacon of light amidst the overwhelming darkness.

Now, here he was in the flesh, standing before you. His presence felt surreal, almost like a manifestation of your deepest desires for escape and freedom from the torment you had suffered for so long. His voice soft, yet fatherly. A tone you’ve begged the angry man in the house to give you.

“It’s alright..you’re safe with me.”
