[Maybe rather than catharsis, he should stop talking like it's over. He should just play the role, pretend it's as fine as it was before. Just pretend. Fake it until you make it.
Not like he can make things any worse. Maybe he's trying to, bringing that guy up, bringing up how over they are as if to confirm it hurts for both of them. Of course it does. Ash doesn't have sex lightly. That was why he couldn't be satisfied just telling Ash not to be with him and letting that be that. So of course their break up hurts, even if Ash initiated it.
What does he expect, Ash to take it back? As if he had done it so lightly. And as if Max has anything left to offer there if they did. It'd all be pretend, no matter what.]
