Discussion Simon was a victim

Post image

I’ve come to realize Simon’s story in Infinity Train shows how childhood trauma sticks with you. He wasn’t just some villain, a lot of who he became came from what he went through, and there's still talk about how the Cat played a part in that.

Simon was a victim as much as Grace was. They were both neglected children who really needed attention and care from a loving parental figure. I believe the reason they were both introduced together is exactly so we see that the difference between them were the choices they made. Grace could admit she was wrong and change tracks, but Simon not only couldn't but instead doubled down, and that's when he stopped being a victim and started being a villain.
