He's made this about himself. When Ash is a national news story. When his identity is going to become a crisis under legal scrutiny. When he's been abused by the system, after doing everything to keep safe from his more natural enemies.

Max has stopped believing in a normal life for the kid. It's not his fault; Ash doesn't deserve it. But the only one who could stop it is Blanca, and Blanca's presence by default disqualifies any life as natural.

There's no place for either Ash or Max here, and neither can make it. Max has managed to somehow make police interrogative rape worse.
