Maxwell was in the house with Vax while Kerindio was in the garage. He didn't say what he was doing in there, he said he'd be in there for a while. Maxwell didn't question him, he knew he'd be fine.

After a few hours, Maxwell went to go get Kerindio for dinner. When he went in there, Kerindio was mumbling to himself and sobbing. "Kerindio? Are you okay babe?" he asked him gently, getting close. "She gone...because of me," Kerindio said, holding his head. "Who?" Maxwell asked. "My mom...she died because she had to get my stupid pills...and when Kerindia and I went to the hospitals...one of us had to end her life...we had to turn ff the machines because they couldn't save her, and we had to...Kerindia didn't want to, so...I turned off the machine, my mom told me, before she died..."Don't worry, I'll always be with you" and then...she died..." Kerindio explained, crying.

Maxwell gently hugged him. "At least she's not in pain..." he said gently. "People keep saying that...that she's not in pain, and she's watching over me and my sister...but you know what I only hear...you killed your mother...she's dead because of you...I just want to end it all...I want to stop knowing that she's dead because of me, I wish I did't need stupid medicine, but I did...and if I didn't take my pill and not run out...maybe she'd be alive..." Kerindio said, moving his hair out of his face. "Kerindio, you needed medicine, it's not your fault, it's the person who rammed into her," he said, Kerindio looked at him.

"She'd be alive if she stayed home...my mom was a good person...I'm not..." Kerindio said, looking at a gun safe they had. "I could end it...but then you and Vax would be in pain...so no matter what...someone is in pain..." he said, crying. "Kerindio, let me help you, I know what it's like to loose parents, and it's hard, but I promise you, your mother would want you to be happy, and she is still with you, I promise you Kerindio, everything will be fine, you just need to keep living," Maxwell said, gently kissing his cheek, Kerindio smiles. "Thanks..." 

"No problem, dinner is done, let's go eat," Maxwell said, taking him by the hand and went in.
