Max stares at Chloe, waiting for something to happen. She sees Chloe's grip on the book tighten and steps forward, one hand on Chloe's shoulder and the other on her wrist, steadying the girl. Max grins as Chloe holds up a hand and examines it, opening and closing- and her grin widens as Chloe looks at her. The shock on her face is kinda cool.

It's rare I get a one-up on Chloe...

"Earth to Chloe?" she teases. "Do I have my best friend back yet?"

She squeezes the young girl's wrist. And she takes the glasses, now a dull gray, off of Chloe. "It's okay. It's just an event- you don't remember? You're a little kid again. Squeaky voice and all."

Max smiles, fond and encouraging. "It brings back a whole load of memories."
