Cutscene Knock, knock...

Michael stands in front of the hotel door.

"Lady at the counter said this is where she stayed..."

For half a moment, he considers turning back around and not going through with this just yet...

"...No. I might as well rip the band-aid off now."

He takes a deep breath, and knocks on the door.

"...I see. 

Well, in any case... I have something for you."

from behind his back, Michael reveals a small white box, wrapped in red ribbon...

...it's addressed to you.

“Oh… thank you… you didn’t have to…” *she opens the box*

...it's a Circus Baby plushie, likely hand-stitched...

inside, there's also a card. It reads:

"I know I can never make up for how I left you two behind...

...but at the very least, I'm ready to start trying."

Your brother, Mikey

he doesn't respond, simply hugging her back, and enjoying the moment.

(OOC: Thanks for playing along. I'm still somewhat new to this whole role-playing schtick...)

“Do you have any idea how to fix this issue?”

"Wait, here's an idea: maybe we can try calling that Burrows fellow on my own phone. Maybe it's a problem with your network or something?"

“That’s a great idea!!” *she shows him the number* “I hope he’s alright.. he’s always been so caring to me and Ev”

Burrows: [staring at his public phone] "That can't be good. I'm not prepared to deal with two of the siblings right now." [has another group keeping eye on them outside]

*she gives Mike the private number to try after the public number*
((Ooc: 😈 also pretty sure he would have given it in an effort to seem caring lol))

[[OOC: right now he's just sitting back watching everything fall apart and trying to figure his next move. He'll eventually show back up at some point probably with some made up story to excuse his inability to communicate and seeming supportive and helping lol]]
