Simon is playing a game of chess with his best friend, a guy named Horace (this jerk, minus the neck brace). Horace is doing most of the talking during this memory. He's clearly an outspoken, abrasive, and even cruel person, but he has an obvious affection for Simon and treats him with nothing but kindness.
Horace is mostly talking about his job. He's employed as a bodyguard for the President of Zheng Fa (someone whom Simon feels intense hatred for, though he takes very special care not to show it), and is working on a fake assassination plot in order to try and boost the President's floundering image. His supervisor, a guy named Rooke (whom Horace feels intense hatred for and makes no secret of it whatsoever), won't go along with it, so he's extremely invested in this plan, viewing this as a promotion opportunity.
As they play, Horace works out the details of his plan, using Simon as a sounding board... or rather, Simon subtly feeds him ideas and makes a plan for him while letting him think he's doing it all himself. He even makes sure that Horace has a convenient opportunity to kill that boss he hates, if he so chooses. He's completely confident that he'll at least try.
The chess game is close and Horace eventually wins, but Simon is the real winner here. He never breaks character even once, playing the sympathetic, helpful friend the whole way through with Horace suspecting nothing. Internally his view on Horace is cynical at best, and he gets a bit of a sadistic thrill from helping to set up this plan... a plan that he personally intends to ruin.
What he learned: - Goddamn he had a lot of enemies - And for whatever reason, his own best friend was one of them - Horace is a hot-headed idiot... but he's not half bad at chess
