I didn't know I'd been cursed. Not until after I'd hurt you. I've never been cursed before. What was I supposed to tell you? Some teenager kidnapped me after work for HUNTR and dragged me into an alley before teleporting away when I did my 'spooky eye' things at him? Or that I was teleported out of the Gray Room after being found by its proprietor and told to get out? It didn't seem like there was anything wrong. Maybe the start of the curses were delayed because of the Beholding?
And he did it because Peter Lukas is holding an axe over everyone at the Institute. Martin feels responsible for other people. He always has. Whether he should or not. Christ, he got split up from me and Tim when Prentiss attacked and spent days apologizing to me over and over again for it. He made the choice that sacrifices himself for everyone else. Which is massively stupid, of course. He is when he's not being shockingly clever and competent. God, but when he is stupid, it's absolutely infuriating. He should be smarter than that. I know he is. He can make better choices. I've seen it.
[That might be a bit of a rant, but...]
Just let me know if you need anything to help him, all right? Or if you need it. The Lonely isn't a thing to be trifled with any more than the Beholding.
