I apologize for this tag being so late, I never got a notification...
With Richard's casual attitude, it occurred to Max that, for some people in this building, maybe nothing was odd in the building. But he couldn't forget the things he'd seen, and most obvious of all, the fact of his own sudden abilities.
"I guess you haven't heard, then." Suddenly he felt less than amicable about this topic of conversation. It had soured the round of mini-golf that he and Lucy had one afternoon. But even if things went south between him and everyone with whom he spoke on this subject, it was better that they be informed.
"I mean, nothing...weird, has happened to you, has it?" It was a long shot, getting Richard to confide anything (let alone anything of a personal nature) in him, but on the other hand, it would give Max a chance to tell Richard about the strangeness of the building. Or come off looking like a lunatic. Either case was a likely scenario.
