In 2008, Chloe's father tragically died in a car crash. They both engaged in many fun games and activities as well as daydreaming of their future and the adventures they would have together. They were both 'only children,' which made them so much closer.

Max grew up in Arcadia Bay and became best friends with Chloe who lived just half a mile away. If she continued to dye her hair in a blue-turquoise or even deliberately green, then she could have decided to stop doing this at any time, making it more difficult to date the photograph. If Chloe was no longer dying her hair after the events of Season 1, then 6 inches of average human hair growth would put this photograph at approximately one year after the events of Season 1.The green that extends down from this could be what remains of the blue-turquoise hair she was seen with in the original game, as blue-turquoise dye fades to green due to its undertones being green (unless it is primed with a purple toner which neutralizes yellows). Chloe appears to be growing her hair out into its natural color (strawberry blond).There is no date to the photograph, but there could be a clue in Chloe's hair: A photograph kept by Chloe's step-father, David Madsen, in his trailer at a remote desert commune in Arizona shows Max's appearance has not changed much in Season 2 other than her bangs looking either grown out or swept aside more.
