LOL, talk about massive rationalisations from the pair of them. Hahahaha.
They both need to broadcast and persuade everyone to accept their story as the truth. Both of them micro-analysing his every move and accusing him of x, y, z when really he just acted normal.
- Because Marcus is jealous, feels inferior and has been trodden on as the dominant male.
- Because Noirin fancies Tom and feels guilty about it, and angry that she looked like a school girl with a big crush on Tom.
So the pair of them had to overcompensate massively and rationalize to themselves and everyone that he's a big gameplayer, lol.
They need their convincing story, in order to feel better. Lame!
