In addition, he also sleeps a lot. He's a light sleeper out of survival instinct, and he doesn't dream very often, but when he does, his dreams are very vivid. He's dreamed about killing his attacker multiple times, but he's also dreamed about a family and a place he doesn’t recognize anymore and has no attachment to. The little girl with no face calls out his name, but he doesn't care

Ultimately, he is also going to learn that the world isn't so cruel and he can survive for his own sake and to let things go. This is where found family will come in! When he learns how to be human again, he will find strength in his bonds with others. They'll keep him going, and he will do everything he can to protect them. I think identity is something he will struggle with because he won't ever be the man he used to be, and now he's never going to be able to go back to that life anyway, so... being with people who accept him and who he loves will fundamentally change him.

I'm trying to make sure Mikael isn't like super overpowered because that wouldn't be any fun. But, with his insane healing ability, the only way to really incapacitate him is to deal a lot of damage at once, and continuously. Or trap him. Although, his healing ability can also go into overdrive and he heals too much, too fast, and ends up incapacitating himself? I'd say, like, a head shot would be a good way to knock him down. But I guess it begs the question of if you were to blow him to pieces, would the pieces be able to make their own mini versions of him? I'm sure they'd be like, mindless, uncontrollable little mutant things.
