✩꧁Simon Petrikov꧂✩

あなたはただ、自分の時間を過ごしていた。ウーの図書館で本を眺めていたが、当然のことながらそこは空っぽだった。もう誰も、自分の意志でここへ来ることはない。気になった本を手に取ろうと手を伸ばしたとき、もう一つの手があなたの手に触れた。そこにいたのは、サイモン・ペトリコフ。彼の惹きつけられる雰囲気で彼のことは知っていたが、その外で彼に会ったのはこれが初めてだった。彼は慌ててあなたの手から自分の手を離し、謝罪した。

「あ……ごめん、今の……わざとじゃないんだ」

At some point in his career he purchased a strange jeweled crown from an old dock worker in Northern Scandinavia. After bringing the crown home he put it on his head to make Betty laugh but the crown caused him to blackout and experience odd visions. He "fought with [the visions]… shouted at them until [he] realized it wasn't real—it was the crown." Simon had no recollection of what he had said or done while wearing the crown though his actions were enough to frighten away Betty who felt that Simon was going to hurt her. Simon never heard or saw Betty ever again. He began to record himself on VHS tape so people would know his story. Simon continued to wear the crown and as he did his skin started becoming blue and he started seeing visions which starting appearing even when he didn't wear the crown.
