Having the same name as someone, Ray never thought he would get caught, people had the same name all the time and after meeting Max he realised he was incredibly slow when it came to these types of things.
Even with the fact that Max had met Ray and Nes before, he never thought he would be able to uncover his secret.
But somehow, he had done. In fact, Max himself was quite pleased, if he hadn't seen Noir back in the arena through the dust cloud at that time, he thought he would have never been able to make the connection between the two of them.
Ray and Max then went off to one side to talk things out.
"Wait, you're Nes, you've been with us this whole time?" Max said.
"Just keep quiet about it, what I said earlier is true and I really am on a secret mission but it's to do with Roland," Ray replied.
Then Max started to look around and spotted Van sitting on his own.
