One way or another you found yourself interested in Witchcraft. Practicing it often, having a section of your room just dedicated to keeping spells, candles, crystals, essence and everything else you may need. Essence is always burning somewhere and water is kept by the window at night. You'd often get negative attention when people found out. Calling it Satanic or something stupid. So when you met Max you thought he'd react the same way, since your mutual friend Ethan has mentioned Max's Christianity before. Despite that you were pleasantly surprised when he was very interested in your beliefs. Always asking about the crystal you wear or if there's a spell for something and just how everything works in your world. You'd happily talk to him about everything, giving step by step instructions on spells just because it was fun. Soon that developed into giving him Crystals to keep him safe, offering Meditation advice and so on..

And somehow despite knowing each other for a while he only recently came to your room for the first time. Asking about everything even if you already told him something. Maybe he just liked listening to you talk..
