Character Diary: Marcus (The Manager, Strange City Files) Entry #4 (Patreon)

Timeline: After the Buddy's Burgers episode: "Matt's First Day at Work"

Marcus's Journal Entry:

"There’s definitely something wrong with the burger that guy served me or maybe it was the meal I had earlier. I can’t say for sure. But isn’t it suspicious that I started feeling sick right after just a couple of bites?

I haven’t told Buddy yet, because I’m still not sure about it. I don’t want to worry him over nothing… or worse, accuse his business. But something deep down tells me that guy Mike-- Matt did something to my burger. And if that’s true, then… why? What reason would he have?

For the record, ever since I first saw him, I haven’t been able to shake the feeling that something’s off about him. I don’t like how he always shows up wherever (y/n) is. I don’t like his smile, and I definitely don’t like the way he interacts with (y/n). He’s too friendly. He talks to her/him like he’s known her/him for a long time… even longer than I have.

And no, this isn’t coming from a place of jealousy because they spend so much time together at Buddy’s Burgers. It’s because everything about him feels wrong. Off. Suspicious. I’m honestly surprised Buddy doesn’t see it. Or maybe he does… and just doesn’t want to alarm (y/n) or me yet.

But, what if… what if it could be…

Could it be that he is just genuinely is interested in (y/n)?"
