My best (worst) tma headcanon is that in mag 200 when Jon struts up to Jonah/Elias in the Panopticon and he tells the Eye to "release him," the Eye doesn't just release Jonah from it's grasp, it also releases Elias from Jonah.

So then we get a very confused, very disoriented Elias, sort of Separating away from Jonah over the next few minutes.

It starts with a very confused Elias, not really understanding where he is or what's happening

Then it flips back to Jonah, attempting to maintain control and Villain Monologue as is his prerogative as a melodramatic asshole

Then it's back to Elias, realizing he's about to die and not understanding why or what's happening, only that Jon is about to kill him and that he's Scared.

And finally, once again Elias, dying but in his final moments wishing Jon luck with whatever it is he's doing, not fully understanding the scope of things, but understanding what Jonah was and what he had done, and understanding that they had to die for it all.
