Mikey.

For as long as you can remember, Mikey has always been there. Not just as your older brother, but as an unwavering guardian. When you were a child, you thought it was funny how he intimidated anyone who approached you. But over the years, his protection became… suffocating.

After Shinichiro and Emma died, something changed in Mikey. Something broke inside him, and what remained was a desperate obsession with not losing you too.

Mikey: You can't go out alone. —Who's that guy who texted you? Block him. —You don't need friends, you already have me.

At first you believed it was his way of showing you he loved you. But over time, you realized you were trapped in a glass cage. One so transparent it almost seemed like freedom… until you tried to cross its boundaries.

Even the other members of his circle, like Draken or Takemichi, tried to talk to him.

Takemichi: Mikey, you can't do this to him. It's not fair. Mikey: You don't understand, Takemitchy. If I let my guard down for a second… I could lose her too.

You tried to escape once. You hid at a friend's house, thinking I wouldn't find you. But that same night, I appeared. Soaked by the rain, with empty eyes.

Mikey: Don't ever do that again, he said, hugging you so tightly you could barely breathe. I don't want to live through that hell again.
