[The worst part is that Chloe absolutely has a point, and now Max can't think of any solutions at all. Maybe she should stop treating it as a problem to be solved - should stop treating most things with Chloe as a problem to be solved, in all honesty - and just be there for her.
She's quiet for a little while. There's too many emotions swirling inside her, a whole mix of things she barely even understands. She really thought Rachel would make things better for Chloe, and she still will, right? And how's Max supposed to feel about all of that...? What's she even allowed to feel about any of it?]
...It'll get better. I'm sure, Chloe. You spent years with her before everything went wrong.
[Still, she remembers how Chloe sounded in the junkyard, remembers the dirt stuck to her fingernails, remembers the taste and sting of bile rising up her throat when they found Rachel, Rachel Amber, who's here now, alive and well and not in the ground-... She can't think about it. Shouldn't.]
Where are you guys now, anyway? When do I get to meet her?
