Description
For the most part, Michael is correct in what he says in this video. Eric and I have placed him under a 72-hour watch at his old hospital. I realize that this seems like an awful move, but we were left with simply no option after the events of "Sleepwalking" coupled with every other night since I have gotten here. I can't sleep every night being afraid of my own brother cutting me up in my sleep. He stopped taking his Quetiapine, for God's sake. But I have no reason to justify myself to you all.

Of course, he wouldn't go into this situation voluntarily so we had to call a team from the hospital to come get him.

He handed me this video file on a flash drive before they took him. He didn't say a word. A note that he wrote on the envelope read. "He was with me here. He will be with me in there. Hope to hell that he won't be with you while I am gone. He isn't happy." I felt that putting up this message was only fair to Michael.

Michael had been alone in the basement for the day and a half between when he stopped his meds and when Eric and I called MHCD. I don't know what he was doing but he wasn't staying still. We kept hearing him talking. I am sure it was to "Him". I love him, he is my brother, but he needs those meds to stay with us and be able to fight.

Part of this doesn't feel like Michael.
