Summary
Melanie is grateful to Jon three times.
The first, for coming back at all. Not that she missed him, not that she’s glad he’s not dead. But the last few months in the Institute have felt hollow and it’s a sickening relief to have a target for her anger again.
The second, for asking to remove the bullet, and allowing her to refuse. This is a more complicated gratitude, because she doesn’t want it. But she can’t bring herself to wish he’d kept this meagre measure of control, of choice, from her. So she is grateful, and she hates it.
The third, for being the obvious monster everyone has their eye on, so they never think to ask about the blood under her nail, don’t wonder when she slips out the door of the archives with a knife in hand. Maybe she should feel guiltier for letting Jon take the fall, knowing full well that everyone involved in their little intervention has at least as much blood on their hands. But she still hates him just enough to be able to swallow down the guilt, so she lets Basira threaten him and swears that she won’t let any of her victims make it back to the Institute with their stories.

Summary
Jon sighs. “Martin, look, I’m not… I’m not poking fun, or god forbid angry at you. I just… Going into… whatever I’m about to go into, not knowing if I’ll make it back, I just… After so long scorning you, distrusting you, and you still caring? I just worry that I somehow managed to… fool you.”
Martin scoffs. “You haven’t fooled me, Jon. Not even a little bit. That’s exactly the thing.” He exhales. “I guess… I’ve been able to spot your attempts to fool everyone with the ‘disinterested academic’ schtick and it just… didn’t work on me. Through all the tired bullshit I saw… I saw you.”
The night before Jon leaves for The Unknowing, Martin stops by his office for a few last words of encouragement. One more cup of tea. But their interaction unfolds into something far, far different.
