She doesn't want to walk out, but Max refuses to let Billy hit her and just take it.
Billy's fingers mirror hers, and Max watches, her stomach churning. He's so close to the whole of it, now she is the one who wants to run. He brings up Vecna song again, and Max's eyes close.

"Not exactly. A Vecna song is your favorite song. Something that works as a touchstone," she runs her fingers lightly over the buttons, but her free hand clenches again. "They asked 'cause they care about you. If Vecna starts to hunt you, you can listen to that song and keep him out of your mind. Keep yourself safe. Keep him from killing you."

Her eyes flicker back to the walkman.
"What is your favorite song, anyway?"
