Meh Micheal should just ignore his parents had enough of that drama. Just focus on growing stronger. Right now he should realize going to the nest is the only option, becuase if he stays he puts himself and everyone else in danger. Make your goodbyes, maybe ask if you can bring a friend or Alice. The nest can provide resources he can’t find in his backwater galaxy.
Probably true, but it’s really hard to detach yourself completely from people you always held out hope for. Toxic-yes, deserving of forgiveness-I don’t think so, will he have to trudge through it by hardening his perspective-probably. Either way I’m looking forward to the next stage that Michael will dominate, cheers for that mate
