His turn followed much in the same manner as Lucy's - the game was still fun and he still paid an amount of attention to it, but the conversation and its relation to everything that had been going on in the apartment building was taking precedence over the sport.
"Have you ever even met the landlord?" Max had had no hand in the selection or application for his shared apartment with his sister. As far as he knew, everything had been done through email or over the phone, and he'd never thought to ask Lily just how she'd even found the apartment building. He'd just been content to have a place to live and play his video games.
Part of him wondered if he should give Lucy all of the information he had. About the weird room, about how Fiona had said people she had previously met had just disappeared from the building without so much as a goodbye, nice knowing you. But he didn't want to scare her, especially since there was no way of knowing how she might react. But wasn't it better if they were all working together? More people helping to work through the mystery of Pax.
"Hey, if I tell you something...you wouldn't freak out, would you?" Wow, great way to gauge someone's reaction, Max, he quickly lamented once the words were already out of his mouth.
