Week 4, Post-Trial: Max

[withsadness]

Maaaaax...do you have a few minutes?

[Mary waited until the excitement of the day had died down and people started splitting off to talk to who they had to, but she lingered around the McDonalds counter, not really all that subtle.]

I just want to ask you for some more advice, since you're so smart!

[Mary's expression loses some of its anxiety as she looks at Max's hand on her own.]

I guess you're right. [She sighs.] I know you're right. I must have just gotten caught up in everything going right for so many weeks I forgot that it couldn't last forever.

[Another thought occurs to her.]

I'm going to have to say goodbye to you in the end, too, aren't I?

[ he blinks and removes his hand with a shrug ]

... Yeah, I guess. I'm not in danger of being erased any time soon, though, so worry about that later.
