His existence had been mediocre—he could see that now. But spotting a problem and fixing a problem are two completely different things. And sometimes—when life gets too hard and every breath for survival feels more like a stab in the chest—we need help. Somebody has to come and fix things for us. And that was exactly what Michael tried to do. [muke au]
