Stain on Max's Reputation
The streets were empty and the commotion had finally calmed down a bit. But the patrol units from the union could still be seen.
People were back into their homes, sleeping again. But some were still up…
Max carried Aria back to her room as he informed her about Eren staying tonight.
Aria was silent all along and just nodded hearing Max. She had brought her friends in the apartment and Max had cooperated with her. Now it was time for her to do the same.
Max laid her on the bed and finally asked with a frown as he pulled out his basic medical supplies from the spirit world, "How did you get that wound?"
"I-I got into an accident," Aria replied avoiding Max's eyes.
Max sighed as he reached out to her top and gently lifted it to her ribs.
"Y-You! What are you doing!!" Aria began to struggle but no matter what, she couldn't even budge Max's hands a bit. Her face had started to turn red when Max finally let go of it.
