Michael crumpled the book, his hands trembling. "Michael's Ascent" – the sheer audacity of it! His private life, his failures, his triumphs, all on display for the world. He wanted to burn the thing, erase it from existence.

He read on, driven by a perverse curiosity. The author had captured his ambition, his drive, the way he always pushed himself to be better. They understood his flaws, his insecurities, the moments when he felt overwhelmed. He felt a deep sense of… connection. It was the same feeling he experienced when he saw his children.
