Charles lets his gaze wander through the apartment, taking in the details with that quiet curiosity Max knows too well. He stops in front of the trophies lined up on a shelf — the replicas of Max’s championships and the original, gleaming in the center. For a second, admiration flickers across Charles’s face. Max knows that look; he knows Charles wants that feeling someday, and part of him can’t blame him. Charles turns, and Max sees a quiet smile on his face before it fades. “I, um… I received an invitation. From… The Invitation,” he starts, clearing his throat, and Max notices the nervous way his hands fidget. “Ah, what an original name. Congratulations?” Max offers, barely containing a smirk. Charles narrows his eyes, exasperation creeping in. “There’s a catch.” “Do I even want to know?” “They also invited you.” Max’s expression morphs into an exaggerated look of shock, complete with wide eyes and raised brows. “Wow, what a shame, then.” OR: Max and Charles are invited to appear together on a popular podcast. They have a lot to talk about and a lot of tension building up.
