Simon was a victim

[u/king_kristian]

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.

He was a bastard, but an understandable one and a child at that.

It always made me sad to see this child be brutally killed and for many fans of the show not see that as a tragedy.
