Max knew had had to come armed. He's just glad the key Raleigh's heart is so easy to make.
As Raleigh works to bring the words out, Max's hand on his leg strokes soft circles in his skin. But that grip tightens when Raleigh reveals that terrible truth.
"Oh, Raleigh. Oh, I'm so sorry." A cold sickness settles in Max as his mind grasps the full horror of that. To be connected that deeply when his partner, his brother died. It's a wonder Raleigh can function at all.
Suddenly, words don't seem enough. So, Max throws his arms around Raleigh's shoulders. "I'm so fucking sorry."
