[jon is in his office sitting at his desk, fiddling with a pocket knife that probably belonged to his dad or whatever. about an hour ago he received a message from the enclave, informing him of a way to retroactively prevent the collapse of civilization. unfortunately this involves reopening old wounds. he's called max in to discuss this with him because that's absolutely what you do with your close platonic friends.]

[Max comes into Jon's office without knocking, like he always does, and greets Jon casually as he takes the few easy strides to Jon's desk after quietly closing the door behind him. He can tell it's serious, based on his posture and the look on Jon's face, but Max's approach to Jon's serious face is to act as casual as possible until he knows what serious thing it actually is.]

Everything alright?

[He sits down and puts his feet up on the edge of Jon's desk, where they always go, out of habit.]
