Why doesn't running a aws s3api list-objects command return the NextToken?

Question

I'm running the below command. Please note that the s3 bucket has a large number of files in it.

aws --profile=xxx s3api list-objects-v2 \
--bucket 'xxx' \
--max-items 2 \
--query 'Contents[].{Name: Key, LastModified: LastModified, Size: Size}'

According to the aws documentation, this should return a NextToken which I can use to get the next set of data. But the output simply contains 2 blocks with data on 2 objects in json format.

[
    {
        "Name": "xxx",
        "LastModified": "xxx",
        "Size": xxx
    },
    {
        "Name": "xxx",
        "LastModified": "xxx",
        "Size": xxx
    }
]

If I run the same command with --output text, it will print out the same data with a none at the end of it. not sure if it's related.

Thanks @riz. It was the query. Just had to change it to

--query '[{NextToken: NextToken},Contents[].{Name: Key, LastModified: LastModified, Size: Size}]'
