...I don't know much about Peter, or the. The Lonely beyond what you've told me.

But if it works in any way similar to the Institute and the Eye... He was doing that intentionally. And no amount of prolonged contact like that means it's true.

[Even if Martin can't see his face, there's the sound of a quiet, shaky exhale. He is a grown man who knows how to handle his own feelings and being rebuffed after sharing them.]

Someone would have to be an idiot to not care.
