like he does and vice versa, he would do anything for her and if she wants to play this game, he’ll play along. It’s unhealthy, I don’t have to tell you, but I had no choice but to step in line with him and try to accept what he’s thinking and feeling, and I totally did. While’s she’s mostly absent from the story in physical appearance, she’s very present at the same time as well. He’s constantly sharing what her preferences are, her type of house, her opinions on music, TV programmes, the colors she’d put on the walls, yet she’s nowhere to be seen. She found him and he became devoted to her, he still is. He has little empathy for others, the only exception being V.

He’s found the perfect home, the perfect job, he’s sculpted himself into the physical ideal V has always wanted. V taught him about love, and in return, Mike has dedicated his life to making her happy. Mike Hayes fought his way out of a brutal childhood and into a quiet, if lonely life, before he met Verity Metcalf.
