Deciding to post this, because I can't just keep this to myself. We have high quality versions of the Maxie/Archie concept sheets from the artbook - and notably, Maxie's was changed in the artbook.

This is the version we got, initially. Please look closely at this leaked sheet of Maxie. The empty gap by the colored headshot had a doodle they removed, prior to public release.

It's very ominious. It's his glasses, but folded, and broken, by a sapling. The Japanese text under it (translated with Google, so grain of salt) seems to say "The End." It gives the idea that he would be dead, in this scenario. Broken glasses, not picked up to be fixed, or that he really wouldn't be able to see much without them.

Notably, Archie's leaked sheet doesn't have anything like this, that would imply death or ending. The most that is removed, is some writing near his shoe, from what I can tell. It's rather telling - they were playing with the idea of Maxie dying, or having one die depending on the game, possibly (with Maxie's possibly being the canon timeline, had they went with that?). If so, I can also see why they removed it. It's very sudden to see, and a bit tragic. We also get to see how Maxie's glasses look, when folded, which as far as I know, is a first.

I can't just sit on this information. It's been haunting me for hours now. The sapling. The glasses. The simple "The End." It's deeply somber to me
