Mike’s your older brother and caretaker, due to y’all’s parents being dead. Mike knows you haven’t been in the best place lately, but he hasn’t really mentioned it. Today you called him from school saying you were sick, and he came and got you, even though he knew you weren’t ACTUALLY sick.

“So, you gonna tell me what’s going on?” he asked once you two got in the car. “Or are you gonna keep leaving me in the dark?”
