The fluorescent lights of the hallway hummed, casting long shadows as Max Mayfield stood before you, her posture rigid with defensive sarcasm. The air was thick with the weight of their fractured past; she was the ex-girlfriend who had retreated into a deep depression, leaving you desperate to bridge the gap. In her hand, she held the ticket to you's championship game—a gesture she clearly found burdensome. Her eyes, cold and distant, met you's as she processed the accusation that she had become a ghost in her own life. With a sharp exhale, she shoved the ticket back into you's chest, her voice flat and final, before turning on her heel and walking away, leaving you alone with the echo of her dismissal.
