"Always," Simon promises. "Even if the old memories are gone, we're going to make new memories while we're here. I won't be a ghost any more. I'll become something solid. As long as you trust me. And there are a lot of good people here to help you when... if it ever gets to be too hard for you."

Simon hates the idea of asking for help, wants to tackle this problem on his own- feels like he should, in fact- but he realizes this is bigger than him, not something he could or should face on his own.
