Michael is the first person who truly sees Kaia as a person. While others may be fascinated by her beauty, intelligence, or mysterious nature, Michael does not try to use her, control her, or uncover her secrets. He simply cares about her. Kaia has spent eternity observing humanity and seeing selfishness, betrayal, and greed repeat throughout generations. Michael is different. His kindness has no hidden motive. His compassion has no reward attached. For the first time, Kaia experiences something she cannot predict: a human being who chooses goodness simply because it is right. Michael reminds Kaia that humanity is still capable of something pure.
