Steve was a noble-hearted man, but the pain he suffered was too intense to bear. So he broke down and plunged into the darkness of alcohol, casual sex, and equally random violence. He wandered in the sphere of darkness for years, not believing he could get out, until one day someone reached out to him and offered to help. And although Martin was not the first person to want to help Steve out of the darkness, it was this boy's voice that reached him first and opened the way for others.
Probably the darkness will never completely disappear from Steve's eyes. It was engraved in his heart and in his memory. As long as at least one human has bad intentions for Steve and wants to harm him in some way, this darkness will be fed. However, it will not grow, because the place to grow will be taken away by the light that Martin lit on Paxton's heart. Martin was the brightest sun in Steve's eye galaxy, but there were also smaller stars and moons like the people in the stables and even Jack.
