Was Reynesh right about everything he had done? Leah didn't know what he was. Would she still be half as nice to him is she knew? Part of him was convinced to stop. But...every time Maxus reminded himself why he started being the Soultaker, it still haunted him. The flashes of that fateful day was still affecting him in a way he couldn't ignore. Despite the events of the previous day, Maxus knew that he had to keep going.

"One clean hit. That's it."12 year old Maxus raised his fist, shifting his feet around to provide as much balance as he could, taking in a deep breath as he steadied his arms, pointing them towards Tony who took his fighting stance as well. "If you can survive 30 seconds, you win." Tony reminds."Bring it." Maxus recalled saying as Tony burst forward.The mentor switched his attack hands mid charge, from a fist to a chop as he swung at Maxus who managed to deflect the first shot, quickly stepping back to dodge another, sidestepping again to avoid a third and was about to have an opening for his own counter attack when Tony kicked, forcing Maxus to back off."You can read style changes now.

Leah knew that he always seemed occupied with something other than focusing on school as well as having emotional trauma from events that took place in his past. Maxus always seemed to unfocused, almost like something big unresolved was constantly haunting him without rest.On top of all that pain and despression, he had no parents around to comfort or teach him.

Maxus was a newly made orphan without any parents in his life to provide him the love and basic needs of life.The scene was clear as day in his head.
