Marcus doesn't know who Rose is or what the True Knot might be, but he lets Dan speak, lets the words wash over him as he drives the rest of the way down the mountain and then turns the truck down the road that will lead back to his place. Whatever and whoever they are, they sound awful. Like they prey on people much as the demons did and while Marcus and Dan haven't discussed their respective pasts in any depth just yet, he's beginning to get a sense they have some strong similarities.

"You don't," he says easily when Dan says he sounds mad. "Not at all. You sound..."

Like someone who cares. He sounds compassionate and kind, the sort of person this world needs. He sounds like he's done the opposite of what Marcus has done. Dan brings peace to those in their final moments and Marcus comes blazing in, tearing them away from those final moments, refusing to let them go, refusing to let the demons take them. The situations are different, of course, but he can see the two sides of a single coin.

"You sound humane," he settles on saying. "People need that."
