Melanie was fighting against the Slaughter, despite the fact she admits she kept the bullet in her leg on purpose. Martin was isolating himself to protect everyone else, despite the fact he admitted he didn’t really care about the others. Georgie was reminded of her trauma when Jon woke up from his coma, despite the fact she literally couldn’t feel any of the effects of fear. Basira believed both Melanie and Daisy didn’t know what they were doing and judge Jon for the exact same things they did, despite being shown and told that it was absolutely no different.
But Jon stalked them because he was afraid they were going to kill him and not because he wanted to clear their name. Jon got marked because he couldn’t let information go undiscovered and not because he was being given hints that he had to stop the Unknowing at all costs. Jon fed on people and kept it a secret because he wanted to keep doing it and not because he was already a monster who should’ve stayed dead and he definitely didn’t release the name of his workplace to whatever her name was so they’d have a reason to confront him when he didn’t end up getting stuck in the coffin. Jon wanted nothing more than to exert his power over the other avatars because he was power hungry and not because his anchor told him he shouldn’t feel bad about it instead of the immediate disgust he felt after obliterating Not!Sasha.
That’s it. That’s the post.
