Well shit. Mark takes... he takes a deep breath and tries to clear all the emotions from his mind that aren't his own. He should walk away right now. But every time he even tries to think about it the terrifying loneliness threatens, so he has to stay. At least until there's someone else around.

None of that meant he was ready for all this baggage though.

"So I guess that's what it comes down to. I don't know what the right thing to do here is. I should tell you to stay the fuck away from me. I know that."

And yet Damien is also the only touchstone of home he has and that's pretty fucked up.
