This Makes Me Feel Violent - Tumblr Posts

That last ask just caused me to stumble upon the awful realization that in S1, Marcus does, in fact, listen to music all the time when he’s alone. Almost constantly. In S2, the infamous tape deck / constant music is noticeably missing. And I never realized why until now.

It was because of the silence.

He was filling up the silence. All those years traveling around the world with nobody to talk to, of course Marcus listens to music all the time. He’d go mad otherwise. But by S2, he’s had Tomas for company, and he’s had him for a good long while. He wouldn’t need to fill up the silence anymore. Tomas filled up the silence. Tomas was his music.
