Method of Madness:
I just realized, she said "one last time". I guess she really is leaving for good, rather than to just visit until the grandmother gets better (or doesn't).
Is it cold in here?:

An honest resolution to the story would have Marten running to Padma and being shot down because she has to leave and a lame apology that she got too involved too fast, etc etc that ends with her taking Marten's heart and shitting on it. Let Marten shit on the girl's heart for once. He's earned it!

Please be careful not to sound like you're telling Jeph how to write the comic, as opposed to expressing your preferences.
Carl-E:
His memories will be the bitterness he felt this last week. Hers will be the fear of getting too close that she almost overcame.
He should go see her for both their sake (sakes?).

My apologies. I wasn't telling, I was begging. I know he's gonna do his own thing but I can still plead, can't I?

Wait, you know that Padma has a fear of getting to close? I didn't see that in her character. Big difference between that and getting close and realising it was dumb due to having to leave. I got the impression that Padma is merely fond of rushing in where angels fear to tread.
As for Marten, his memories shouldn't be about bitterness. They should be about triumph in gaining enough self-respect not to go into full doormat mode over a girl who lead him on. He already moved across a whole county for a girl before and that blew up in his face. And Padma was really just a fling. It wasn't a year long or even month long relationship. She didn't have the brains to back away from the intimacy, or the guts to admit she went too far until the last minute. Whatever happens, whatever she could possibly explain to him, and whatever feelings Marten would get off his chest if they did meet one last time, he's still gonna get burned and she is responsible for it. Fuck that noise. Marten should walk away feeling proud.
