Banned for the sad face, you need to be somewhere happy *escorts to the happy (aka hug) thread* HUGS!
No, you took it wrong, I banned you for reminding me of the hug thread. You're banned for banning yourself.
What? Surrounded by empty med-x syringes? Max just nodded wordlessly, and headed in the direction he pointed. She fell to her knees as she saw her; just bones in a white doctors coat, but she recognised a pen sticking out of her pocket, a pen she had given her for her last birthday they spent together... She started to cry again, and looked around at the empty syringes. Had she been hurt? Lying here injured and alone, as she herself had been only a little while ago? Maybe... but as she counted the syringes, she realised they would have amounted to a lethal overdose; Her mother had... had killed herself? She stared in disbelief and shock, until she remembered back to her own situation, just an hour or so ago; hadn't she been contemplating the exact same thing? She looked at her mother's remains, and then back at the door, at the skeletons of the ponies outside; her mother had been sat against the wall, looking at the ponies outside; ponies desperate for help, trying to get in; and knowing that she couldn't help them, that she and all her lifesaving supplies were locked inside by a security system she couldn't override. As Max realised all this, she sat down next to her mother and dried her eyes. She thought now that she understood, but she wouldn't suffer the same fate; the doors were unlocked now, and she was a doctor as well. The ponies outside may have died, desperate and afraid, but she wouldn't let any more innnocent ponies die if she could help it. It seemed clear to her now what she had to do... She stood up and went to find Ace.
