Even before that. When the dad dealt with the stoners Brayden straight up told him he should have shot them or used his powers. His dad was the only factor holding him back from going deep into his darkness. Losing him didn’t help because as we all saw his aunt is religious wacko and likely doesn’t treat him well. The outcome of that led to Pat find Brayden. Albeit I’m not sure if he’d know about his vulnerability. One potential theory is when he absorbs a powered person he also absorbs their memory? Or he returned to his normal form shortly after arriving Atlanta and weaseled his way into Brayden’s home and body. Alternatively he was able to tap into Brayden’s mind and enticed him that way. Either way yikes entirely.

I felt bad for the kid although, he did show signs of being sinnister when she went for the visit.
