Summary: He did it all for her. This fact was what kept him alive these past seven years… even more so than his hunt.

SPOILERS. You have been warned.


He had lost his mentor to a mysterious killer; he refused to lose her daughter to the law. In his heart of hearts, he knew she couldn't have been responsible… but he was a prosecutor. He knew how the legal system would handle this situation.

So he had taken the blame. Confessed to the crime. Sheltered the precious light of his world from the worst of the storm. And when he was given shackles and an expiration date, Simon smiled in the face of their accusations.

At least Athena was safe. He would die happily knowing he had protected her.
