Paul did want to answer Marcus' question. Genuinely, he did, as it was a pretty valid question considering Paul had not only rocketed himself and two individuals years back in time but had also fought off the elusive SKULL unit, undoubtedly another creation of Ragnarok. Unfortunately for Marcus, Paul's dearest love decided to come around the corner in that next moment, causing Paul to enter lovebird mode and immediately forget all other happenings that didn't involve passionately embracing Maya. Considering what everyone had been through, she looked absolutely beautiful- like a goddess, which she technically was. While Paul normally loathed royalty, his blind love for the gorgeous Maya enabled him to overlook that fact. 
	Turns out that Paul probably would've done well to answer Marcus' question, as the momentary hormone boost he had received upon contact with Maya was quickly wearing thin, and the true toll of Paul's recent actions was about to catch up with him. After much kissing and hugging and all that stuff, Paul pulled away (with the intention of that moment only being brief) but found his legs beginning to wobble. Blood began to, once again, pour from his nose and mouth as he collapsed onto the cold floor, and if his companions had any shred of mercy they would do well to transport him to the medical bay for treatment.

It'd felt like hours. Months. Years. How much longer could this poor fellow endure this torment. How much longer would he have to feel himself be torn to shreds inside and out, his entire humanity and soul ripped from his essence, leaving him nothing but an empty shell. But the interrogator's methods had worked: where there had once been sadness, love, joy, compassion, sentimentality and fear, now there was only burning hatred and seething envy. He had been born only to be replaced? Was his life only meant to be suffering? He couldn't sit by and allow this to happen... he would get back at the faker who had taken his destiny from him. If joining up with this "Ragnarok" fellow allowed him to do that, then he would go through any procedure, take any life, and burn any bridge to do that. He was Paul Hetfield, and he would destroy anyone that stood in his way. [i]That[/i] was his destiny.
