Summary
The brothers had changed over the nearly four years they had been estranged. Their broken shards shattered by grief shifted to make something else. Something more resembling someone whole. Though Michelangelo? While the others may have been broken, the years had been most unkind to him. Michelangelo left parts of himself behind mentally and physically. Parts in which he could never get back.
The only question is, can the brothers help him build something new where he had chipped portions of his old self away?
Would he even want to?
[OR: The long-awaited sequel to YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT LOVE MEANS (and it's killing me)]
