Hero Simon, but I don't like it!

Well, I only started chasing it after hearing people say it was a blast. I was really excited during the chase. I felt like I was that Simon, the one who kept breaking through the sky, but when I saw that Simon wanted to calm the people down Jail, Nia's dissipation, and finally Simon's twilight, I find Simon so bleak.

Simon wanted to protect the people and wanted to protect the beauty he built, but the people actually thought that he was the one who brought shamelessness, that he brought this devastating disaster and forced Simon to die. But have they ever thought that without Simon, how could they have such a beautiful life on the ground? Without Simon, they would still be living in the dark underground. The hero leads them to the light, but they see only the shadow under the light, and they blame their hero in turn. But Simon didn't say anything, because he knew that he died for the beauty he guarded (fortunately, Simon was saved here), and he chose to face it calmly. Seriously, when I saw Simon in prison still rejoicing that the human escape could save the fire, I was really heartbroken. That's when I started to doubt heroes.

Later, Simon eliminated the anti-spiral family and saved the world, but his lover Nia also dissipated because he was an anti-spiral family. In fact, Simon has long known that this is the end, but so what? He is Simon, the one who broke through the sky, broke through the dimension, and took hold of the morality of his choice and went on without hesitation! He has chosen the path of saving the world, and he has to go down this path. Isn't that what a hero should do? Finally, when I saw Nia disappear little by little, and Simon also pretended to leave, I began to dislike heroes. Maybe in the eyes of others, it is right to give up the small family for everyone, but in my eyes, what if you can save the world, in the end, you can't even protect the people around you? Haha, that's a great irony. Everyone has a hero dream in their hearts. I don’t know what other people’s are, but I know that I once fantasized about being a hero. That’s because I have the ability to protect my relatives and friends. In the end, if I even protect my beloved ones No, what's the use of me wanting this ability, what's the use of me wanting the honor of this hero! Not a hero like this.

In the last scene, Simon taught a child to use a drill and was told by the child that he was amazing. Simon said nothing when he said who you think I am. Yes, he is no longer a hero, nor is Simon the one who broke through the sky. He is just a twilight old man, a lonely old man watching the development of the world. Alas, the hero will eventually come to an end, and in this final time, only his loneliness and loneliness will accompany him. Even a mortal is not as good as a mortal. A mortal still has someone to accompany him, but after all, this is the path Simon chose himself, so what can I say. All in all, I don't like heroes like this!
