Summary
When Simon first arrived here nearly four years ago, he’d thought Eden’s overflowing pride for this tree was… Nonsensical. Stupid. Moronic. There were plenty of trees back home on Mars, after all. Why should this one matter so much? What was there to be proud of?
Then came the Quiet Rapture, and Mars and every tree on it disappeared in the blink of an eye, along with every star in the universe and nearly every other celestial body too. Suddenly Eden’s tree became the only tree in the entirety of spacetime. Suddenly, everyone’s pride turned into obsession.
Suddenly, a bracelet containing a small leaf from the tree dangled from Simon’s wrist, a bracelet Father Rory made him swear never to remove, lest he face eternal damnation for abandoning the cause.

My interpretation of Simon's backstory: his life on Eden, why Eden and the COI turned on each other, how the Battle of Filament Station went down, and so on. Not beta read. Tags will update as more content is uploaded.
