Oh. Who are you and why are you talking to me?

//lol chill max//

Stop…lying to me…I thought you were my friends…friends don’t lie…

//stranger things reference because im absolute traaaaaaaash//

Carlos: *frowns. He’s touched that Max thinks of them as his
friends…. But is sad that he was trying to dismiss it* We are your friends, Max. We want to help you. And I told you…
scientists don’t lie.

David: Neither do Camp Counselors! Except when pretending to
send a kid to the moon! I would never
lie to you, Max!

I…it really was my fault okay? I don’t…want to lose anyone else…I feel clingy and annoying…I feel like…they all hate me…*he reaches for David again*

*David just rubs his shoulder comfortingly* Nobody hates
you. Or… nobody that matters hates you. What… what do you think was your fault?

*Carlos remembered that David didn’t know the whole story
yet.*

I…I killed my dad…it was…all my fault…I should have been…less stupid…

*David is confused.* W… what? Why would you say that, Max?

Carlos: Max, why don’t you start from the beginning.

Huh. You know, I had an affinity for blue hoodies when I was your age.

N-no…please…don’t…you
don’t understand…they’ll…kill me…if they find out that I told
someone…*max is shaking and sobbing uncontrollably*

Carlos: Which is exactly why you’re not going back to them.

David: *is rubbing Max’s back and at first is confused at
Carlos. But he quickly nods* Absolutely! You shouldn’t go back to a place that
will only hurt you!

B-but I have no where to go…I have to go back…

Carlos: Right now, you have camp. So you’ll be here until
the end of the summer. It’s the perfect time to call CPS and have that house
checked out. David and I will both attest to what you’ve told us. If you have
any relatives…

I don’t…have any…please…don’t call…please…I have nowhere…I have to go back…

David: Then I’ll take you! You’re not going somewhere where
people don’t appreciate how wonderful you really are!

N…no…you don’t have to…I wouldn’t be worth it…I’m too much trouble…

Hush up, Max – you are completely
worth it! I’m not going to let some people make your life hell just because
they gave birth to you!

I-I…but why would anyone want me?

David: Why are you questioning it, Max? I want you! I want
you safe and happy! Your parents don’t deserve you!

N-no…I deserve worse…I’m horrible…*he turns to carlos* you should have just left me in the lake to drown…I caused everyone trouble…no one would have noticed if you had just let me die…

Carlos: Everybody
would have noticed. You’ve been a staple in the camp. Angela talked about you,
you know. She noticed you and wanted to get to know you.

David: Max, you’re not horrible. You’re troubled – it’s very different.

Carlos nodded. “Certainly,” he said. He smiled at Hancock,
grateful. “You… you’re not busy with anything else, are you? I hate to take you
away from your work.” He got a weird sense of déjà vu – he wondered if he’d already
said something like that before.

“I’m not busy often, honestly. Ain’t much around here for me to do if shit isn’t blowin’ up, y’know? I can take some time to help ya find some work that suits ya a little better, sounds like more fun than like…. budgeting, anyway.”

Carlos laughed at that. “Yeah… I mean, budgeting can be fun.
It’s like math… just with higher stakes.”

“It’s fine… it’s for the better, I’ve learned a while ago.”
He smiled sympathetically at Hancock’s story. “I’m sorry that happened. Did you
ever make it up to your friend?”

“Eh, it was fine. I apologized and got him some real expensive gifts to make up for it, he forgave me after that, heh. Those kinda accidents are pretty common with young witches and wizards, y’know? Guess that’s why most of us tend not to hang around muggles, ‘specially when we’re young.”

Carlos nodded and shrugged slightly. “Yeah… we can’t even
take our wands home during the summer in America. It’s against Ilvermorny
policy.”

Huh. You know, I had an affinity for blue hoodies when I was your age.

Carlos looked at Hancock again. “Do you think she’d want me?”
he asked. “I’m… I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting either Irma or Doctor
Amari, unfortunately. I, uh… never had caps that I was willing to spend on
using a Lounger.”

“I think she’d probably take ya, yeah. Especially if I put in a good word for ya.” He winked, a little smirk on his face. “We can head over there later if you want, after you fix my terminal, heh.”

Carlos nodded. “Certainly,” he said. He smiled at Hancock,
grateful. “You… you’re not busy with anything else, are you? I hate to take you
away from your work.” He got a weird sense of déjà vu – he wondered if he’d already
