Oof. Now Simon knows he's a wet blanket, so having it thrown in his face like that isn't great. His natural reaction to things that don't make sense to him is yelling, but what he's coming to realize is that he's going to have to make some adjustments.

Simon will have to compromise a little if he has any hope of making friends at all.]
