[M's eyes widen, and he opens his mouth to say something, but nothing comes out. The fight computer, as usual, runs through its scenarios, not just on what he could say in response, but also how any of that could happen. With a bit of concentration, he manages to block it all out. This was something he wanted to deal with on his own.
He leans back and covers his face with his hands. Andrew... died? Twice? When? His boyfriend had said nothing about this... not a hint in his words, or his tone, or even his movements. M runs them all back in his mind, and they seem... normal. How...no...Why would he keep this from him?
Finding no answers running through that question the old-fashioned way, he moves onto the second part of that statement. That part where Archie considered himself responsible. While he doesn't claim to know Archie as well as he'd like--and now he knows why Archie's been keeping him at arm's length--he does know the other man well enough to know that he wouldn't go after Andrew under normal circumstances. Which leaves.. Well, at least now he's figured out one of the times Andrew died. It's... something. It doesn't help the swirl of emotions running through him fighting for dominance, but it's... something.
He finally opens his eyes and looks over in Archie's general direction. His expression is hard to pin down, as is his tone, though it's got more of a bite to it than it normally does.]

You need to get your shit together, Archie.
