The brother and sister pair shared moments of pouring their heart out.
It was full of heartache and relief because everything was out in the open. There is no longer hidden pain to cause worry for either of them.
Emily further explained how she realized Alicia was responsible for her situation.
It all clicked to her.
Nicholas approaches. His changes.
How he wanted to get close but then started getting distanced after that closeness.
It seems his pretense feeling got real and he started to wish his plan wouldn't work.
Emily explained everything to Max, not leaving out a single information, even how she met Nicholas and everything they shared.
She explained how he had kissed her the last time like he was sure it won't happen again.
Max could also guess from the information that Nicholas must be willing to either drop out of the plan or report to someone that could save Emily.
