"his eyes were a dead, dull color i'd never seen before, like looking into a black hole."
who's up thinking abt the tragic siblingism of max and billy 5 years later...
they've been rotating around my head for a solid two years now and i have literally nobody to talk to abt them so here i am
it's the fact they never got a chance to talk anything out . that max has to remember billy for longer than she'd known him . that billy wanted to protect max from his own monster, unknowingly pushing her away into the arms of Actual Real Life monsters .
"i was getting a brother, and it was going to change my life." whew boy idk if she meant like That guys....
nobody think abt how the only time max and billy truly talked was billy begging max to forgive him for the horrible things he was forced to do . and max sincerely believing that they could save him, telling him it was going to be okay, because maybe she had thought of him as a monster before, but face to face with him now - she realised he was human in every way it mattered, and loving him was possible .
