[ The light bulb POPS and Apollo jumps. The hell was - oh. Oh, the light bulb. At least it didn't break. He sighs, shaking his head a little before he stands taller. He can't let Max let go like this.
"You're anything but a death trap," Apollo wants to argue, yet that would lead to even more fighting when he just wants to help. Share the pain. Do whatever it is that would make Max feel more human.
Though when Max mentions 'making a call,' Apollo's face grows pale. He can feel an arrow trying to pierce through his heart. Not literally - of course not, he's fine. He has the will to live. But then again, back when he had been in these shoes, walked that same mile with trying to take himself out and then Jason...
He hadn't told Max. And he still won't, because ultimately this is about Max's humanity, what makes Max human. ]
I get that. [ he holds his hands up in surrender, leaning back - ] But right now, no one's trying to get you. It's just us. No call to make to begin with.
