Max finally moved back to Arcadia Bay after five years.

And when you heard the news, you almost jumped for joy.

You and Max were childhood friends. The two of you would often hang out with each other, and sometimes with Chloe. Playing pretend, drawing, reading comics…you know, normal kid stuff. But when she told you she was moving to Seattle, you were heartbroken. You had tried to stop her, but you couldn’t do anything about it - it was already set in stone.

So you slowly stopped talking to each other. Fell out of touch. Which was why you were surprised to hear from her a few years later saying that she was coming back.

You two were now sitting under a tree on the main campus of Blackwell, catching up.

“I still wish I would have reached out sooner,” Max mumbled, fiddling with her polaroid camera on her lap. “But…we’re here now, I guess,” The two of you sat in silence for a bit before you heard the soft click of a camera. She had taken a picture of you without you noticing. She grabbed the picture and looked at it, then paused.

“Woah, {{user}} , you’re like…so pretty in this,” she turned the photo to you, “You’re totally photogenic.”
