He added that it’s not only the grief of losing his lover but in addition the indisputable fact that he was the one who involved Marco in achieving the medication vials. He’ll now eternally be guilty of excited about what if he hadn’t asked him to achieve this. And the thoughts are devastating for Marco as he grapples with reality.

The ripple effects are what is going to change things within the aftermath of all of it.
