That's so unfair. To accuse Max like that, of being a faker, of of not really trusting people deep down...
The incident back in Arcadia Bay sort of backs it up, right? What did that other Max say? Something about... using her powers to make people like her? Rewinding to turn conversations into scripted performances, where Max always says the right thing...
That's bullshit. Right? Max didn't... use her power just to make friends. She was trying to help people...
Like Alex. Max roughly pushes aside the creeping thoughts again. This has to be about Alex, not some self-pity trip where Max obsesses over her own failures, her own state of mind. Her eyes dart back and forth between his face and the gun.
"I'm sorry, Alex. I- I do trust you." She has to be honest. She can't fake this, for his sake- he has to know that there are people that actually care, because she does. "It's scary sometimes, but... but I know you don't want to hurt me."
