Michael Afton wasn't forgotten-just overlooked by a fractured family that never truly saw him. His father, William, only noticed him when assigning blame; Elizabeth had her own demons, and Clara faded long before she vanished. Yet through it all, Michael had one constant: Terrance, his older brother. Fierce, loyal, and just as damaged, Terrance never let Michael drift too far, offering quiet strength instead of empty comfort.
At school, Michael wasn't invisible either. He led the Tormenters, a close-knit group of broken kids turned family. Misunderstood by others, they were bonded by loyalty and pain, standing strong together in a world that wanted to break them.
Then came the Funtimers, strange figures from the legacy his father left behind. But they weren't monsters. They were people-odd, intense, but alive. And to Michael's surprise, they genuinely liked him.
None more than Noah, a clever and gentle Funtimer whose presence made Michael feel seen. Their connection defied logic-Tormenter and Funtimer, opposites in name-but it was real. In a life filled with shadows, Noah became a quiet light.
Michael Afton may have been ignored at home, but he was remembered by those who truly mattered-especially by Noah
