Ultrawoman Marie, also known as Mother of Ultra, is reading a medical report on Max's mental condition. It has been years since Frost was exiled as punishment for what he did to Max, but there still seems to be no progress, not even signs of recovery.

Ultraman X, one of the young Ultramen who had met Max on Earth, came to see Ultrawoman Marie for his regular medical checkup when he saw that Marie was reading a medical report on Max's condition.

“Mother of Ultra? Is something bothering you?” asked X. Marie then looked up from the medical records she was reading.

"X? Actually... it's about Max. Until now, he still hasn't recovered since the incident that befell him while he was still Frost's subordinate,“ Ultrawoman Marie explained. ”I have often dealt with various medical problems involving the Ultras, but with Max... this is really worse than anything I've ever faced."

X looked at the medical report on Max and asked Marie for one thing.

“May I read Max's medical records?” X asked. “Maybe there's something I might know about his problem.”

Marie then handed Max's medical records to X. “Of course, X.”

Carefully, X read Max's medical records and his gaze changed from serious to worried. X had heard something similar when he was on Earth, and Max's current condition needed special help.

“If you don't mind, maybe I can tell you something I heard from information I learned on Earth,” X finally spoke up after reading Max's medical records.

“RTS.”

Ultrawoman Marie looked at X with curiosity and wanted to know about the word X had said.

“RTS stands for Rape Trauma Syndrome. It is psychological trauma experienced by rape victims that includes physical, emotional, cognitive, and interpersonal behavioral disorders,” X explained.

Marie nodded her head after hearing this new information.

"This is an interesting case, especially regarding physical and emotional behavioral disorders. Max shows signs that he is experiencing problems with his physical and emotional behavior,“ said Marie. ”Max used to be obsessed with cleaning himself repeatedly and often felt hysterical. Gaia once said that he saw Max crying every time he remembered what Frost had done to him."

"For now, Max has been trying to start his life after Xenon became his subordinate. But at the same time, he is still experiencing deep internal turmoil. Xenon also noticed that Max was looking for ways to overcome the trauma of being raped by Frost."

"At first, when Xenon became his new superior, Max had difficulty carrying out his duties. But Xenon did his best to convince Max that he was not like Frost. Max also always feels afraid, and the fear Max experiences is constant at a level far higher than normal."

X nodded his head while crossing his arms. “I can understand Max's fear. If I were a subordinate of an Ultra like Frost, I might also experience such excessive fear.” X then asked Marie a question. “Does he have a sense of dependence on something, either positive or negative?”

“Positive? Yes. Max has one or two Ultras who are always there for him, Ultraseven 21 and Xenon. But as for the negative way...”

Marie fell silent and lowered her head. X didn't like seeing that kind of reaction. X began to worry that Max might be using negative ways to cope with his trauma.

“Has Max ever...?”

Marie nodded slowly, her face showing empathy.

"Yes, Max has hurt himself as a way to cope with his trauma. At that time, Xenon saw scratches on Max's arms and legs and became suspicious. Because of his suspicion, Xenon, along with Dyna and Zero, followed Max. Xenon's suspicion was correct because Max was hurting himself as a way to cope with his trauma. Xenon, Dyna, and Zero managed to prevent Max from hurting himself and convinced him that he shouldn't do such things. Xenon also convinced Max that it wasn't his fault that Frost did that to him."

X clenched his fist. He had heard from other Ultras, especially Astra, that Max had been raped by Frost. But he hadn't expected the impact to be this severe. Marie then continued. "Now Max is married to Xenon and has a son, but I'm not sure Max can ever truly recover from what happened all those years ago. Besides, Frost is still out there. If he comes back for Max..."

“Then we'll help him overcome his trauma. We won't let a monster like Frost destroy Max's life again. Not while we're always there to help Max recover,” said X.
