I really like your Michael survives stuff! He deserves to spite Gertrude, pull some pranks and whatnot if he so desires (and with his new affinity for the Spiral, I'm sure he could do some wildly disorienting stuff if he wanted to, though mundane tricks have their charms as well haha)

Thank you! He’s going to start off small for sure to try and get out of being Gertrude’s assistant. As he thinks about more elaborate and complicated pranks, he’ll unknowingly start to develop some abilities for sure :3

Fun fact: all of his reports are TECHNICALLY still legible to people who are more Eye-oriented, Elias just doesn’t want his paperwork to look like a rainbow threw up on it.
