Man just, rotates pre constant maxwell in head sm back when Maxwell was still just a name and act he did but behind the curtains he's still an absolute nerd

And its rly just. The internalization of "people love Maxwell and hate William" that leads to him trying to embrace the "mysterious suave gentleman" role more even if it doesn't feel genuine, but it's what the public wants, isnt it?

But he cat get rid of William fully, and if one were to get close to him they'd see that quieter side of him a lot more often bc he'd feel comfortable enough to Be himself and just. Slams fist on floor its ab the duality and also how his time on the throne/under Their influence really did just Kill william
