Disbelief and Agency

Michael didn't talk about the finest details of his life, but he had more than enough to talk about nonetheless. He ended up chatting about his life and answering some questions for hours. Seeing everything awestruck and having difficulty believing the words escaping Michael's lips was satisfying. Their reactions were exaggerated in his opinion, but once he visualized some of his memories using a Memory Crystal, Michael rewatched some of the most intense moments of his life with the audience.

Reminiscing about certain events was not unusual for Michael, but it was vastly different to do so with people watching. They had known Michael was strong, but observing his fight against the Dragys in the Origin Expanse, or bits and pieces from his fight against the Blaze Patriarch, was terrifying. 

Michael also mentioned the Temple of the Forgotten, including the Curses that were now residing within him.
