   Summary

   Mike likes to think everyone cares about him like how he cares about them. He always makes sure he’s there for them—their protector, their paladin, and he knows they’re always there for him…

   OR

   There are many times Mike gets hurt by both the people he loves and doesn’t and no one helps him and one time his family and friends finally notices.
