There were five things that Max remembered about his life before: a girl named Clary showing him how to read a manga book, that he loved to read (especially folk and fairy tales), that he had angel blood, that his family hunted demons... and the names and faces of his siblings, even Jace.

So when he heard someone ask if his name was Max and he turned to see who it was, his expression lit up in hopeful recognition. "Alec! I remember you! You're my brother Alec, right?"
