MAG142: Scrutiny

Before his transformation, when he witnesses a real statement, it's like a nicotine hit. As he gets stronger, it's less innocuous as nicotine and more like heroin. That soft brown that Martin fell in love with is the tiniest ring around the black of his blown pupils and, after the transformation, nothing really changes physically. He still stares the statement giver down with this hungry look, drowning them in the black holes that used to be his pupils. But now the statement giver feels the icy, oppressive energy, the claws that hook deep and drag that fear out for anyone to see.

Like in MAG142, Scrutiny, when the woman is talking about how he's sitting there, gulping down all her terror. It's like when you stare at something so hard your field of view distorts like fishbowl POV and she was forced to sit there under that.

And no I’m not insane or justifying my favorite season 4 episode and I’m not biased just because I love when supernatural shows give an outsider perspective so we can see how sane people in world perceive it:
