When he finds him, Alex has dried blood on his temple, his shirt, and his hair. He also looks extremely pissed off.
“You are a sight for sore eyes,” Michael breathes out, and Alex’s tense shoulders slump in relief.

Michael can't bring himself to move.
He sits, knees hugged to his chest tightly, and stares at the sand. He's fighting every instinct that tells him to just jump, take the leap and go after the man he loves.
I need your head and your head and your heart here, he remembers Max saying a few minutes ago. But that just isn't possible. His heart isn't here- it's down there, under the sand, where Alex is waiting for him.
"Michael," Max mummers, kneeling beside him. He puts a hand on Michael's shoulder and Michael turns to look at him. "Bud-"
"Don't," he pleads, shaking his head, "you can't ask me to leave him.”
"Michael, listen to me," his brother says softly, "we need to regroup, make a plan. We can't do that out here."
He shakes his head again. "You guys go. I'm staying right here."
Max sighs, squeezes his shoulder and gets up. Max, Maria and Rosa huddle beside Maria's truck, and they talk in hushed tones for a little less than a minute, before they seem to come to a decision. Maria gets in her truck, Max in his, and Rosa walks over and sits beside him, cross legged.
So they sit, and they stare at the sand, and they don’t talk.
When frankenstein's creature said accursed creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust? And when Judas said why didn't you make me good enough so that you could've loved me? And when wych elm said why did you do this to me? I was your baby. You made me. But then sophokles said, i am the shape you made me, filth teaches filth.
Given that Judge Crater, Roanoke, and the Dyatlov Pass Incident are credibly solved, though not 100% provable, I'm leaving them out in favor of things ,ore mysterious. I almost left out Amelia Earhart, but the evidence there is sketchier.
