Max Mayfield & Number Nine
Nine wasn't sure how much time he had back home. He was young, but he knew that not everyone was going to survive the battle to come. He hoped he be one of the ones who did, but that was still very much up in the air.
"Me too. I mean, I'd be pretty thrilled if I could even be friends with a girl. I mean, back home there's this girl who has a crush on me, but she's just a kid and more like my little sister than anything else."
Ella was adorable, but she was a kid, and he wasn't at all interested in her in that way.
