Notice Mercury's behavior before Salem loses her shit. Notice how he's already frightened before she loses it, and is not only the first one to notice the cracks in the windows, but the first one out the door when she tells them to leave.

Seems his abuse from his dad let him pick up on Microexpressions, and as such he ended up being aware of Salem losing her shit before anyone else was.

How bad did his dad fuck him up though that he was forced to learn Microexpressions? I know it was bad enough to want him dead, but to what extent did Marcus hurt him? If what his part in I'm The One is anything to go by, then I'd say "Preeeety *censored* bad".
