[There probably needs to be more explanation there. It's just a matter of how much Simon divulged, wants to be divulged and wants to divulge himself.]
Simon is from a, unique situation, and never had the chance to develop properly. He needs friends. I assure you, he's entirely harmless.
[Unless you're not into cryptic phone calls, the possibility that Simon might murder the people who he feels hurt you and being stalked with bilocation.
A unique situation being put in an asylum after killing parents? Something something apocalypse? THAT kind of situation???? D U D E, you should have probably GIVEN ME A HEADS UP???
Is this all real that he's saying or is it in his head?
[This is going to take some time and careful explanation. On the plus side, if Simon's already said this much, there probably isn't much left to remain a secret from Peter.
That's a good thing.]
As far as Simon said, yes, he did kill his parents. However, there's no evidence to back his confession.
His parents were members of a cult and believed they could use certain rituals to bring specific demons into the world through the use of children. This particular cult believed in a coming demon apocalypse. Demons, however, are not real, and any beliefs Simon has in them are simply due to the early indoctrination of the cult.
As I said, Simon is complicated, and I prefer that people learn to understand him without my divulging too much of his history. It seems, unfair, to do otherwise.
Okay, but this isn't, like 'bad break-ups' history or 'my parents are divorced' history, Mr. Strand. I get u want him to be able to tell people on his own and respect privacy or w/e
but you shouldve told me more than what you did, even if theres plenty reason for what he did.
Then it can be my choice to decide if hes dangerous to be friends with or not.
Or if I IDK ask him about his parents, his hobbies, literally anything???
Is there really a way to explain such things without causing a negative prejudice against the person in question?
[Seriously, he wants to know, because one day he's going to have to field this whole belief that he's going to cause the demon apocalypse thing and he doesn't know how.]
I am, however, sorry for the situation I put you in.
Think thats up to the person you're telling to decide, Mr. Strand, esp if you're the one wanting them to reach out to someone with a crazy dark history. all relationships are based on comfort zones, and people deserve to draw lines in the sand.
I didnt say I wasn't gonna talk to him though
I just want to make sure he at least isn't, like, sadistically murdering his parents for no reason.
Some of us are touchy orphans as it is you know.
Also like I don't wanna be stabbed if he's still stabby, he doesn't just stab whoever, right?
[He almost mentions that some histories are too personal for others to be told about simply because they happen to talk to someone else, but he doesn't. That's a bit too personal and close to home for him. Technically he, and now Alex can be put into that group as well. And Richard isn't planning to go announcing and explaining his personal history to anyone. No matter how close they might become. That is, unless he has to, like now with Simon.]
I don't believe Simon is, stabby, and I wouldn't have asked you to talk to him if I thought you would be in any danger from him.
His reasons for anything he's claimed to have done is completely to protect innocent people.
[Hey man, personal is fine, just don't ask him to befriend technical criminals without some backstory. You're something else, Mr. Strand. He taps his pen to his chin for a moment, hanging out at the community housing table.]
alright, well. I'll do my best. 🤔
No guarantees it won't be a lil awkward, but i like a challenge.

I assume you won't be engaging with him again.
