Caleb shouldn't be the one having to comfort him, but at the same time, Michael also needs this. He grabs at his shirt and hauls himself in, breathing raggedly and deeply, just wanting to be there. He wants to plead for forgiveness, or to go back in time.

He also wants to go into the pod.

He knows it would be stasis and he would still end up feeling it after, but the idea of not existing for a while is tempting and he knows how to do it. He goes a touch limp at the squeeze, feeling weak. Reaching for the pad, he writes, beer? because he wants to make sure Caleb knows he wants to drink.
