Warning I will be rambling and yap im not sure how much sense it will make but buckle up if you’re willing to read thank you

While I’m not one to really voice my opinions on specific chapters until they’re completely done I feel this one needs to be spoken about more. Mainly because I feel this chapter has a lot of nuance in it, the way it read to me is very different. It almost felt like Simeon had the overwhelming sense of responsibility to take care of Luke and Raphael and felt guilty for causing them both so much sadness seeing his want and desire to be a demon as selfish. I honestly felt that Simeon would much prefer to be a demon (or stay a human if necessary) much more than ever becoming an angel again, the line “I’m no longer running away” feels like it would fit better if he did become a demon or stayed a human being able to acknowledging that he can’t keep trying to stay on both sides and and not taking the time to think about what he wants for himself and not feel the need to constantly do things for others. His reason for being turned human instead of a demon is because he would’ve greatly preferred being a demon hence his punishment was being turned human and not demon like his brothers. He saw how happy everyone was after they fell and they all care for each other like they did in the celestial realm. But again he still felt responsible for causing Luke and Raphael to feel abandoned so he pushed his wants away and he only became an angel again because he said out loud he wouldn’t mind it and since father and Micheal wanted to get Simeon back to the celestial realm they took the opportunity to do so while he had that window of guilt and shame for “being selfish”. If it was just babel that made him an angel because he truly wanted it I don’t think it would transfer over or even really effect anything again everything that happened in babel didn’t really happen outside of that little pocket babel is in. So all in all I feel this whole thing with Simeon ended in the opposite direction it should’ve, I’m not saying that anyone’s wrong or right since it is what it is but I just needed to yap about my opinion on the story.

The End of Simeon’s Journey

In the end whether he became a demon or an angel was up to him. He had to want to be an angel again, he had to miss and love his home and friends. If he didn’t care at all then why be one? It makes perfect sense, it was a deliberate journey of self discovery that could have easily gone either way.

Something More Curious…

The biggest part I wanna talk about though is that not even six of seven of the strongest demons in hell noticed Simeon was no longer human or demon, but LUKE DID

Lucifer and the game have hinted many times that Luke has seraph potential and I believe he will be on Michael’s level one day. The little angle is going straight to the top.

The confirmation. Simeon is an angel again and it’s what he wants. It had to be his decision in the end.
