He never wanted to let Layla know about his disorder and even after she knows he still feels shame about it. Throughout the episodes he still tries to hide from her how it works/what it really looks like.
In episode 3 some people asked why Layla didn't stay with him when they were inspecting Senfu's sarcophagus. It's because he didn't want her to see him talk to Steven.
Same for the end of the episode. Why did he take off the sideview mirror to go further away with it? Because he didn't want Layla to see them switch.
And then we get to episode 6. Marc has accepted his disorder and has no problem letting Steven front, switching right in front of Layla
The way that exclusionists treat ace and aro people often reminds me of how the average person would treat me when I started being open as non-binary. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it a thousand times, we are not enemies. Our experiences do not oppose each other, they are intertwined. If you’re ace, if you’re aromantic, if you’re any variation thereupon; your home is here. You belong here, too. You are beautiful, and powerful; and you don’t have to explain yourself to anyone. You are a valued part of this community.
