Although it had been less than two days since I watched the video playback, I had come to understand everything about Michael.
What stood out most was his feelings for Betty.
His emotions transcended mere familial love or simple affection; it was a fusion of kinship and romantic love elevated to a sublime level.
Perhaps this was tied to Michael's childhood experiences and the early death of Laura, his mother.
Michael's psyche harbored a slight distortion, bordering on the perverse.
His feelings for Betty were complex, seemingly finding in her a mix of regret and compensation for Laura's departure, coupled with the thrill of first love.
Moreover, Betty was undeniably a stunning and charismatic woman, her looks and aura irresistible to any man.
Thus, Michael's obsession and dependency on Betty had reached an indescribable intensity.
From another perspective, this was pathological.
