After talking to Reira, Marco finally works up the nerve to ask Elias about what happened that one week and/or to apologize profusely for it. It wasn't just that post he made; everything he did, everything he thought, everything he said, it... it was all too much like how he used to be. You know, before he got better.
He talked to Elias every day that week. At least, he thinks he did. He thinks it was the real Elias - he spent so much time in the Arcade, after all. And he was so... so far gone. So lost. So...
It's evident that Marco is having a little trouble articulating what's bothering him, or what he wants from Elias. Deep, deep down, he only hopes Elias agrees that THAT was bad, but now it's over and he's better and nothing can change that. It is better, isn't it? To tread with caution and treat everyone with respect instead of seeing evil in everything the Fog touches and lashing out against it?
