Okay but Martin's feelings for Jon make so much more sense now. Loyalty to someone who treats him badly is what he grew up with, what he's always come to expect. His pattern is lie to provide, deflect and avoid to keep the peace unless it's better to take a verbal lashing. Jon gave Martin what he believed he was worth, but then he gave more. Concern over his wellbeing, gave Martin what was his (file storage cot) to make him feel safe and protected. Worked through the distrust and anger to appreciate him for who he is, not how good at his job he is (lunches and tea). A marker of Jon's growth is his treatment of Martin and it's exactly the sort of worth-assurance Martin needs.

[@NerveUnderscore]

[@byunbaekhyun4010]

Not exactly what martin //needed// just what worked. Martin deserves better than season 1 through 4 jon because jon was so emotionally abusive towards martin.

[@sealyver]

Jon began (if I may call it “softening”) towards Martin upon realizing that he's not HIS enemy, upon Martin confessing about him lying on his CV instead of whatever devious plan Jon had in his mind. But also Martin, who seemed taken aback (as you mentioned) Jon offering him to stay in the archives for his safety, Jon instead of acquiring of the statements rather being bothered and concerned about Martin’s Health (after his return in S3), etc.

[@TheOnlyTherazan]

"So I assume this is... what it's called... a cry for attention." Elias getting it right first try, Martin IS crying for attention... but not for the reasons he thought.

I feel like this was a major clue to Elias's whole plan, how he just changes the subject when Martin asks why he didn't help sooner when he knew everything that was happening with Jane and Sasha well ahead of time. Hearing it again after finishing, it just clicks into place as such a major hint.

[@gigileung211]

'yet you haven't set the whole archives alight' honestly, martin, maybe just set elias alight now

Listen I understand Martin is a gROWN MAN, but that does not prevent me from wanting to hold him and tell him it’ll be alright in that last part. Also the fact that Mel wanted to kill Elias because of what he did to Martin (although it was more than that, the fact that she actually cared was a big deal to me). Well done!

This was a fantastic scene to animate, not only for the angst but because it’s when Elias realized that Martin’s much smarter than he lets on.
