[Hunk wouldn't be wrong in his comparison. Marik did go mad. He'd always had darker tendencies deep in his heart but they didn't fully manifest until that fateful day Odion snuck his siblings out to the surface. Thinking their father had killed his older sibling, his other personality finally came out and only made the situation worse.
Thankfully that part of his soul has been locked away in the Shadow Realm never to return but Marik is far from innocent. Despite what his sister says about this being the "good" Marik, he's far from that. The thoughts are still there, just muted. Instead of jumping from 0 to 11, he never gets over an 8 in his emotions intensity and in the rare chance it does, it always fizzles out quickly as it came.
Which is what Hunk gets to see right now. At the mention of Allura his expression immediately softens and he looks up with a bit of hope in his eyes.]
... Although I'm not happy someone else had to go through something similar, it... helps knowing I'm not alone. I've... I've never had that before. I mean, my siblings stuck with me through it all but... it isn't the same. I should try and find an opportunity to speak with Allura...
[He shifts a bit.]
... I'm sorry to have unloaded on you like that. I've never told anyone about my past. I wasn't allowed. Technically I don't think I'm allowed to still but... the unnamed Pharaoh arrived here and he's regained his memories so... in his time, my duty has been fulfilled.
The fact that I now know that but haven't experienced it for myself is... stressful.
