Alex just looks to Richard for a moment when he leaves her alone, and she just swallows before she looks back down at Simon. There's no point in trying to stop herself from weeping openly as his hand weakens on hers, and she just leans forward, touching her forehead to his own as she does so.

"Simon. What does that mean?" Alex doesn't know, and it makes her even more concerned for him than she was before. Because she wants there to be a heaven where he can go, considering that this wasn't his fault. That he didn't deserve this.

That no child did.

"God, Simon I'm so sorry."
