hey daredad

btw i also kept mixing up Matt and Max i feel your pain

[ghettobatman]

he had maximum manpain over your death, kiddo.....

Okay, so after Hinata and Clarine, Max was the person Matt was most protective and fond of!! They didn't thread all that much, but it's no secret that Matt has a soft spot for the kiddies and he's really passionate about ~defending the innocent. Matt is basically a living lie detector in canon thanks to his bullshit heightened senses so he listens to people's heartbeats to find out if they're lying or not. This was nerfed in Ship Trap bc it's dumb, but he still felt Max was sincere about her plight and feelings (unlike, say, Rei, whose behavior was inconsistent), so he counted her as an innocent, and his heart went out to her. He tried to assure her where he could, even if he didn't fully believe what he was telling her (like, he held himself responsible for all the choices he made in the game, but, like the hypocrite he is, told Max it wasn't her fault)

The reason he had her take a picture of his handwriting was in case he died, he was planning to leave notes about the plot deets he was finding out, and wanted her to have it so she could compare his handwriting. This idea didn't last long, but even if her pictures did nothing for him, once she started to cope with everything, Matt found her very bright and helpful. And Royce had a soft spot for her, which Matt found endearing.

Aside from being buttmad about the fact that Max was dragged into this cruel game to begin with, as I said, Matt counted her as an innocent so he was really angry that anyone would target her. He never promised to try to get her home safely like he did with Hinata and Clarine, but he would've if they'd spoken more, and it was one of his goals. Whomp whomp.

He had some pretty conflicting feelings about her having killed Souza. In a way he kind of blamed Royce because he armed her and Max obviously listened to him and trusted his judgment so Royce shouldn't have encouraged her to gun people in the night, but on the other hand, he also wasn't really happy with Max for that. He can't fully blame her with the circumstances and knows she was really scared, but murder is badong and teenage girls shouldn't do it!! LEAVE IT TO THE ASSHOLES.

In any case, if he had known Max was trying to make deals with the Judge she would have gotten an earful from Mama Murdock, but other than that, he is still pretty fond of her.

On an ooc note i'm glad she found him really comforting because that means i was ic bc he has a very comforting presence even though he's blind HA
