The only thing he can think about, other than his rage directed at whoever the killer might be, is that he's glad Martha's mother isn't here to see this. For one thing, she would never forgive him, and assuming that she's cut from the same cloth as Martha, she wouldn't rest until she found a way to have her revenge.

The tension in his shoulders doesn't let up as he keeps staring at Martha, wishing that he could somehow undo this, and change things so that it never happened. But he can't; he can't even take everyone away from this place. He's every bit as trapped as the rest of them, and he's not used to that at all.
