For a moment Steven seems surprised by the gesture, but then he lowers his head a bit and smiles the smallest smile he can manage to himself.

"Unless it's like, eternal torment and suffering. If I get there first, you aren't allowed to follow." As if Steven could easily communicate to Marc not to follow him into the bad ending.
