MAXINE MAYFIELD had to console the shaken psychic after her experience within Void. She had heard the girl's story about what happened within the Void and decided to indulge in Eleven's suspicions. As the two of them walked along a nearby road that intersected with Cherry Lane, looking to investigate the Hargrove Household after their game of Spin The Bottle, Max couldn't help but think that the answer to Eleven's mystery wasn't as difficult or off-putting as El suspected it to be, especially when El mentioned the woman's... screams.
"It's gonna start pouring soon." Max announced suddenly as she trodded along the road leading up to her house, taking note of the greying skies above her and El. Yet, nonetheless, the idea of heavy rainfall did not disturb Eleven from continuing the journey to Max's house.
"We should be at the mall— or like watching a movie or something..." Max admitted with a slight pout.
Eleven took notice of this when she turned to look at her new friend, tilting her head to the side a little. Max looked back at her and could see that the girl looked a little hurt at the redhead's comment.
"You don't believe me?" El asked with a frown.
Max sighed audibly, "I believe you saw some super weird stuff— totally— but... you said Mike has sensed you in there before, right?" Max looked over at El for confirmation.
As the two turned the corner onto the Cherry Lane, walking by a beige pickup truck parked off-road next to some tree's, Eleven looked back at Max, nodding her head at her.
"So, then maybe it was just like that, Billy just... sensed you... somehow." Max theorized, sounding like she herself was unsure how that would even happen.
Eleven seemed to find some reason in Max's logic though, however two other aspects of her Void experience from yesterday just bothered her out.
"But the figure—" Eleven tried to explain, clearly having trouble to articulate her concern due to her limited speech, "It looked... familiar—"
"The figure was... probably just Billy or... some other weirdo nearby— like how earlier you spied on Mike and saw Lucas as well..." Max countered before crossing her arms, "It's not like you even really saw the person either, so they probably weren't even that important to begin with."
Eleven nodded her head slowly while listening to Max, the fiery redhead was making some good points.
"And the screams—"
Max was quick to shut her down once more, "Yeah, I know... here's the thing..." The redhead breathed out a little and put her hands together, trying to figure out a way to word her statement in a way El could understand, a nice way.
