Max's hands trembled slightly as he spoke, "I was in an abusive family growing up. If I even tried to tell anyone that I needed the slightest bit of help, my dad would lock me in the basement... he and my two older brothers would beat me up non-stop. I ended up snapping and murdering the three of them. I passed out and was left outside of here by my mother." Max's expression was rather sad. His voice was weak as he spoke, "I thought my mom would understand why I did it... but she accused me of overreacting. The figure I saw that caused me to strangle Grim earlier was my oldest brother."
