Summary
There’s a new hire in Research. He’s small, and that is the word. He isn’t short, or squat – scrawny is closer to the mark but implies a sort of wiry lopsidedness that doesn’t fit right. He’s just small, like if you took an average sized person and scaled them down. He walks with a cane and keeps his head lowered. He wears some sort of brace or glove on his right hand. Silvery marks pepper his neck and jaw. He doesn’t seem to talk much.
“I’ve got a name,” Sasha reports, perching on the side of Tim’s desk. She’s just back from a coffee-machine gossip with Rachel, who had been ignored by the new hire in favour of staring at his shoes. “Jonathan.”
“Compensating for size with syllables, classic move.” Tim peers around her to mentally affix the name to the hunched figure curled into the corner desk. “Word of advice, avoid at all costs a one-night stand with an un-shortened ‘Bartholemew.’”

Summary
If Tim hadn’t said anything, he might not have started noticing.
Noticing things, for example, like Jon slamming a stack of files onto Gregory’s desk and demanding to know why he had ‘delegated’ these notoriously impenetrable documents to Sasha, then asking quite how interested Elias might be to learn of this redistribution of labour. Or noticing things, for example, like Jon glaring daggers into the back of Polly’s neck as she returns Tim’s ‘borrowed’ chair, then laboriously contorting himself beneath it to readjust it to Tim’s settings.
And once he notices these things, he can’t stop noticing.
***
Martin can't work out why his new co-worker looks at him like he makes him sad.

Summary
“We both care about Jon,” says Daisy. “And besides, I really do prefer the company. Think of it as a favor for… for a friend of a friend.”
Martin scowls vaguely at the floor, but he doesn’t argue further, and he doesn’t leave. Daisy goes back to her book, hoping she made the right call.
---
After being rebuffed, Jon quits alone, and winds up back in a coma. Martin and Daisy keep finding each other at his bedside while they wait for him to wake.

Summary
“Have you got anywhere to stay?” Jon asks him, briskly. “Friends, acquaintances, maybe, who you could stay with…?”
Martin flushes, deeply. “I, I mean— n-no, not really,” he stammers, and then goes even redder. “Or, just, y’know not that I’d want to, to. Put in the middle of this. Put in danger of, of worms.”
“Ah,” Jon says, “No, of course, that makes sense.” Why drag anyone else into this mess? Seven people died during Prentiss’s initial hospitalization; the collateral damage of roping someone from outside the Institute into her orbit doesn’t bare thinking about. “In that case…” Jon feels like there’s some alternative solution, one he’s just not thinking of at the moment, but it evades him, and Martin needs somewhere safe to stay. “My couch is quite comfortable. You’re welcome to come and stay with me until you figure something else out.”
Martin is held hostage by Jane Prentiss for two weeks, and can't go back to his flat. Jon offers him a place to stay until Prentiss and her worms can be dealt with, and they can be sure he's safe.
