Spoiler On Maxwell's fifth birthday, his father left home. Maxwell was too young to remember how the household reacted to this news. Or perhaps he'd decided it was one of the things of life not worth remembering. Under the care of his only mother alongside both of his parents' extended family, his journey through teenhood was not rife with struggle nor friction. At some point, he'd wondered if it was because his mother had put on the bravest front from that day onwards; at other times, he'd chalked it up to his older brother, Emmett, and his generous care and concern for Maxwell's wellbeing. Emmett always did seem to act his best as both a kindly parental figure and a best friend. While growing up, the two brothers were almost inseperable. Things would remain at peace for a long time. Then came along the Nerve Gear and his brother's waning presence in his life; the man, having reached adulthood, proceeded to continue supporting the family, returning the sentiment on his mother's behalf. It was out of joviality that his brother accepted Maxwell's request for a shared past time during their hours off. Now Demian isn't sure if he has a mother any more. All he does is cling onto the one remaining hope, the only family he has left in the site of a tragedy of imprisonment. Spoiler VIRTUES Hardworking Out by the front porch of his house is a little garden. It produces small vegetables come spring and summer. It isn't much,Emmett had told him, and Maxwell knew this by the food placed on his dinner on those nights from his harvest. But the work is good discipline, and mom would be proud of you for picking up a hobby that serves us well. Encouraging  He learned quickly how he should care for his crops. Sometimes, when his brother wasn't home, he would shuffle around his tiny field, making sure the plants were want for naught. And he shared with them his thoughts, his daily schedule and the pride he held for the little troopers sticking out most of the year under the ground. Perseverance He'd cried when the first seed he ever planted remained dormant for a good month, only noting its indifference to the world once his brother had pointed out its slow progress to him. Emmett smiled at his tears -- either it had been Maxwell's naivety that earned him a laugh, or a kind regard to the encouraging behaviour he'd seen the boy usher on his plant in the days before. And still he'd wanted to do right by his crop. Emmett guided him how to. Spoiler FLAWS Stubborn Weeds, Emmett had told him, would steal the nutrients from the soil, and sometimes release chemicals to attack your plants. Though it was a simple warning, he hadn't expected it to take a toll on Maxwell, how the kid snuck out of his bedroom come midnight just to watch over his plants in the dark. The boy wouldn't budge, not an inch for the next hour or so; by then, Emmett thought it better to forge a white lie for the kid, so that the both of them could soundly rest in their beds for the night. Impressionable There were a few months that went by in high school that Maxwell wasn't around his beloved field. It was his friends, Emmett realized after questioning him at the dinner table, that would drag him out late into the night week after week. Only after much trial was he able to convince the young boy to have the courage set his own boundaries -- especially so for the people that he liked spending time with. He'd returned to his garden soon after that, to Maxwell's discrete and silent pleasure. Repressive Do you remember the week when I was fighting with mom every night? Emmett asked on occasion, and Maxwell had always answered in the negative. But on those days, the boy had spent the entire night wide awake, listening attentively to their conversation. By the morning light, he would have forgotten it completely, imagining things were fine between his family.
