I do feel it was a bit out of character for max to act in such a way, felt like she didn’t deserve friendship or that she let everyone down. when she chose to save Arcadia in that option she makes peace with that, it’s bittersweet but she’s accompanied by Chloe in the spiritual form of the blue butterfly during the funeral ceremony and in the original doesn’t break down and believe she doesn’t deserve any of it because she feels she let her down, Max knew what she had to do and made peace with that choice.
