Some more og elias and Michael angst? for the soul?

Both Elias and Michael had crush on each other but neither of them ever confessed. They shared few awkward drunk kiss which they never properly talked about. If things were different they would surely get to it one. But never got such a chance…

One of the cons of skipping bodies is that no body comes without some baggage. For example if original inhabitant of the body was alcoholic Jonah must as well be careful about alcoholic bevarage to some degree. Unfortunately with feelings it’s the same. Since original Elias had feelings for Michael, Jonah had to deal with having sometimes irrational need to protect a Michael or getting this annoying warm feelings around him. That’s why he was so happy to send Michal away with Gertrude, so he could be finally free of Elias’ body still wanting to hug and take care of Michael.

Same thing happen to Michael when he became what he became. Even though becoming one with Spiral gave him different view on world and made him something different there was still bit of Michael Shelley inside - the part which wanted to take his revenge on the Eye and on the Archivist. He never attempted anything against the Head of the Institute though… even though he learnt current Elias is not his Elias he still could not bring himself to do anything against him.
