[He thinks, at least. For him, it's never mattered a whole lot; Michael could stick around a few more years without getting too upset about it. It's just like getting caught in a traffic jam - of course he'd rather be home, but it's not worth getting angry about.

Of course, he's never really asked a dead human. Maybe they just keep caring about time forever.]

Maybe if you punch somebody with it, it'll do something. [though he does not move to do this!]
