I think Simon is my favorite Firefly character, and I LOVE this Simon, trying to adapt to a new situation and almost doing so.
Love the nod to House and Home with the Go, what a great use of the game --it so fits this universe doesn't it?
Emotionally he felt out of place in their home, like the Sanguine bush mother had torn out of the garden when it no longer fit her vision. "Go," Simon mimicked, mentally scrambling to figure out how he’d messed this up already. Oh Simon. his whole night had been a series of attempts to find his footing on shifting sand, each step more precarious than the last. Finally, Simon realized that when the sands were shifting this quickly, sometimes it was best to just be still. So he waited. Lovely image. Can you live in a world without manners? Without an appreciation for ceremony? It nibbles away at one’s soul. Nice insight into all he's giving up
