Max sighed, sitting on the balcony above the building that held Jay and Nate's wedding. He held a single rose in his hand, which was to match his black and white suit.

"I was fine with the men~
Who would come into her life now and again~
I was fine 'cause I knew~
That they didn't really matter until you~"

Max sang softly, dancing gracefully with no one. He felt his Z necklace that Jay gave him grow heavy. The ginger ripped it off and threw it off the balcony into the grass and trees below.

"I was fine when you came~
And we fought like it was all some silly game~
Over her, who she'd choose~
After all those years I never thought I'd lose~"

He danced, his feet to the beat to the piano playing in his head. Max held the rose close to him, singing somberly.

"It's over, isn't it? Isn't it?
Isn't it over?
It's over, isn't it? Isn't it?
Isn't it over?
You won and she chose you~
And she loved you and she's gone~
It's over, isn't it?
Why can't I move on?"

Max watched as the newlyweds slow danced to some music below. They looked very much in love, and Max couldn't fix that. Jay would trip every so often and Nate would catch her, laughing it off.

"War and glory, reinvention~
Fusion, freedom, her attention~
Out in daylight my potential~
Bold, precise, experimental~"

Max grabbed the fedora he wore and tossed it off, throwing it like a frisbee. He slid down the glass barrier, singing to himself.

"Who am I now in this world without her?
Petty and dull with the nerve to doubt her~
What does it matter? It's already done~
Now I've got to be there for their children~

Max sang quietly, cradling the rose as if it was his own child. He imagined the child as Jay, who had the brightest smile on her face.

"It's over, isn't it? Isn't it?
Isn't it over?
It's over isn't it? Isn't it?
Isn't it over?
You won and she chose you~
And she loved you and she's gone~
It's over, isn't it?
Why can't I move on?

It's over, isn't it?
Why can't I move on?"

Max dropped the rose on the ground, climbing onto the top of the railing.

He spread his arms,

And jumped.
