[ID: An illustration of episode 154 of The Magnus Archives showing Martin sitting at a desk with his hands clasped in front of him. His posture looks cold and defensive, and he appears to be in the middle of speaking. Jon stands on the opposite side of the desk, bracing his hands on it and leaning forward imploringly. The words “You know, I think it always did,” are written in orange between Jon and Martin. The reflection in Martin’s computer screen shows him surrounded by tendrils of fog which are not visible anywhere else. The first two images in the photoset are close up crops of Jon and Martin respectively. End ID]
