Basically, it's Satisfied, but Michael is singing this at Jeremy and Christine's wedding.
Angst ahead.
Can be optionally followed with Michael in the Bathroom.In this setting, Michael has been crushing/pining over Jeremy for a long time, but Jeremy gets married to Christine instead. (Sigh... Another case of demonizing heteronormativity.)
Michael, as Jeremy's best/childhood friend, naturally becomes the best man of the wedding. The thing is, he doesn't even want to be there - the wedding's just going to break his heart even further. What's the only acceptable course of action in this case? Why, it's to drink yourself silly until you forget all your woes and shit! (No, this is not acceptable in real life. Don't get yourselves too drunk, people will get a fuckton of blackmail material on you if you're not careful, and no amount of short term relief is worth that.)
At one point, Michael becomes so goddamn drunk he just waltzes up to Jeremy and Christine (slightly drunk, but conscious and sober respectively) and says that he's going to sing a song (Satisfied, which was learnt on a Hamilton binge with the rest of the SQUIP Squad, courtesy of one Christine Canigula) to congratulate them on their marriage. However, he doesn't get to sing the last part of the song (I will never be satisfied) as he blacks out from alcohol before that.
Jeremy's too drunk to understand the implications of that song, so he just passes it off as Michael giving his congratulations in his own special way.
Christine gets it...
...but gets the wrong idea. Sure, she knows the song by heart and understands all the implications in that song, but she fails to reconcile it with the current situation. Combine this with her slightly addled mind, and you get a Christine who believes that this song is to genuinely congratulate their marriage. She also gets that Michael had a crush on either Jeremy or herself (most likely the former), but thinks that he is over it, as the last lines were not sung and the song was left at a slightly more optimistic ending.
Everyone knows that Jeremy will be happy at Christine's side, and vice versa.
But Michael knows. He will never be satisfied.
'I will never be satisfied.'
