Summary
This…this was different, though, than most of the other leads he’d followed.
His mother, or Peter, or even his own idealized planning and endless expectations.
There was kindness in this, leaking out through every crack in the faux stoicism. There was a softness, a care, that he’d only ever seen the edges of, up until the night before the Unknowing. Here, now, it was on full display, just barely sheened over with the resolute determination Jon always took on when he had his mind set to something. For now, leading them. Home.
Home.
Hm.
It struck him, not for the first time - he’d…he’d probably follow Jon anywhere, actually, with no questions asked. Probably wouldn’t even bitch about it too, too much. Ha.
Maybe he’d ask questions later, sure, once their breathing calmed and the running had stopped, but…he’d follow. Without a doubt.
…Case in point.OR
Jon and Martin escape the Lonely. Martin...doesn't quite remember what happened, immediately following. Jon needs to explain it to him, in all the gory, heartbreaking, emotionally volatile details.

Summary
The first time Martin saw Jon kill a spider in the Archives, it was minding its own business. Jon noticed it in the corner when the movement of a moth struggling in its web caught his eye. He paused mid-conversation with Tim, and without any fanfare, dropped a tissue on both the hapless arachnid and its prey before squashing the whole deal under his shoe. Then he threw away the crumpled tissue and went back to his conversation as if nothing happened. Tim barely even broke stride, like he was accustomed to this. So Martin wrote it off as another Jon-ism.
But he began to notice a pattern as he got to know his new boss a little better.

Summary
“Fine,” Jon says, and he tries to ignore the sulky tone of his voice, “fine. What do you suggest?”
Martin pauses, like he’d not expected Jon to give in so easily. Jon’s never been particularly agreeable, but he still feels vaguely offended by the blatant surprise. “W-we,” Martin stammers, clears his throat, continues on much more confidently, “we go in together.”
Or: it takes close quarters and a full 24 hours to finally get them on the same page.

Summary
The patrol yielded, as usual, nothing. Now, Martin has fixed himself the first of the day’s many, many cups of tea and curled up at his desk with the camp bed’s static-tinged blanket draped around his shoulders. He’s nursing a headache and toying with the idea of requisitioning a recorder to read some bits of poetry into—something he’s wanted to try for a while now—when Jon stumbles his way into the Archives.

Summary
Jon had been worried for so long, now, that he was losing his humanity. Having it ripped forcibly away from him, while he was replaced, cell by cell, with something monstrous and terrible.
But, here’s the thing about humanity.
Some of it is monstrous and terrible.
