original_post:_12/20/2006____________________________ So Max lays the bummer bomb that he’s leaving as everyone is celebrating. Bad timing, but had to move the plot forward a bit. Still, as he leaves in a sad moment, Alli sees that this might be her chance to confess her new realization to Max. The last panel is kind of inspired by the “Spider-Man no more” comic cover, when he gives up his suit. And… that doesn’t last either.
