do you ever think about how elias actually had peter in a check-mate in s4 bc even if jon didn’t love martin in return, even if jon didn’t touch the empty by rescuing him, elias had already isolated jon to the point where with Martin gone, jon would have truly lost his only ally.
basira, melanie, daisy, and georgie were all stone walling him and his only hope in s4 really was martin. if martin had successfully turned to the lonely, jon would have been completely alone.
jon would have fallen to experience and be touched by the lonely whichever way elias and peter’s deal went, and that’s haunting me.
