Max still can't stand the attention, even though her two friends are hardly even addressing her anymore. She hides her face by bending to pick up her bag of candy, taking the chance to wipe her eyes again.
...Just Max Caulfield being silly.
This isn't her choosing between friends. She really, really hopes it doesn't come out that way. "I'll call you after the event, okay, Alex?" Right now they have to actually be trick-or-treating. That feels a lot like being saved by the bell. She holds onto Chloe's forearm again, pulling her ever so slightly down the hallway. "I promise."
These last few moments actually feel like... things are okay with the three of them. Sure they're all kind of nuts and there's this weird pact going on with killing each other, but... but there's much less tension than there was before. And Max doesn't feel so much in the dark anymore.
She tries to read Alex's expression, to see if he's really feeling okay about all of this deep down. He plays it off casually, but... nobody can be that detached from their own life, can they?
