simon marks had just lost his half-sister.
at first, all he could do was cry. sure, they weren't that close, but she was the only half-sibling that simon even knew. the rest were just nameless and faceless to him.
after a while, he felt nothing. emptiness spread through his body and into his heart. the boy just smoked whenever he could then - he didn't care what other people thought. he never did.
through the process of grieving, simon theodore marks realized that he needed a change of heart. not just for his sake, but for his father's as well.
the boy could tell he was suffering. simon told himself that teddy needed him, but truthfully, he needed his father. it wasn't like teddy marks was never for him, simon just always pushed him away.
until now.
lori would want him to be there for their father, that much he was sure of.
so instead of disappearing like the old simon would, he instead showed his dad support and comfort whenever he could.
simon theodore marks had finally changed for the better.
