What does Paige think about as she and Nicholas ride the elevator to go see Max in the hospital?

Paige imagines herself with Max at three, walking through a cemetery and drawing. Suddenly, Paige realizes that she can be strong and that she can be strong for someone else, too. Paige reassures Nicholas when he hesitates to get off the elevator, and they walk hand in hand to Max's room.

Paige is probably feeling a mix of emotions—worry about Max's condition, uncertainty about what they'll find when they get there, and maybe some anxiety about how to support Nicholas. She's likely running through different scenarios in her mind, trying to prepare for what might come next.
