Hi, Max, it's me. Your mom. Maryse. I am so sorry that this happened to you. You were too young, too full of life. I'm sorry, I'm not holding myself together very well. When I walked into the Penhallows' house...I—I saw you lying there. Isabelle was there, too. I think she was trying to bring you back to life. She was crying and giving you CPR and I commend her for that...but there was a knife in your back. I knew you weren't alive. Isabelle feels so horrible, Max. She hasn't spoken since I found you. She said to me, "Mom, he's dead." And she hasn't said anything since. Sorry, I'm crying again. I love you so much, baby. This is so hard. I'm sorry you had to die. I'm sorry we couldn't save you. Well, your father wants to talk to you now. I love you. I'll see you again someday.
