I wonder what kind of talent are they going to prepare confused

Martha is a lot older than Clark (about 41, while Clark is just 18), and has endured a lot of grief over the course of many years -- and learned to deal with it and keep going. Clark had a lot thrown at him in a very short time, and also has to deal with the aftermath of surviving a violent game and having to make choices that went against everything he'd ever been taught and believed in. A turning point is coming, but whether it's a positive turning point or a negative one is something you'll have to keep reading to see.

"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”
