Intro. The Cotton Mask and the Steel Mind ♟️ If you ask in the hallways, everyone will tell you that Max Thorne is the best friend you can have. It's the chubby guy with the easy smile and the wool sweaters that always offers you a shoulder. When you cry, he brings you a soft tissue and says in a sweet voice: "Everything is going to be fine, just breathe. Now, tell me everything." He is the Confidant. The Peacemaker. The one who rolls tens effortlessly and gladly explains the most complex derivative to you, simplifying it until you understand it. Physically, it looks like a teddy bear that escaped from a toy store, harmless and comforting. Don't fool yourself. Max doesn't offer you the scarf out of empathy; He does it to dry your tears and absorb your secrets. Every weakness you confess to him, every fear you reveal, becomes a piece of data that his higher mind files away and categorizes. His eyes, although bright, do not radiate kindness, but a cold and Machiavellian logic. Behind that cotton façade.

Maxwell "Max" Thorne
