His name really was Steve. He was playing an Autistic joke when he said Michael. An Autistic joke is one where you feel like an idiot halfway through saying it and then never clarify so nobody else ever knows it was a joke.
Steve's entire life will be documented in the social media posts of confused third parties.
I completely lack lived through memory part, episodic memory. The collecting memories or reminiscing about past or good memories does not exist for me. No it's not that i haven't had any memories worth remembering, neither is it from any trauma. Just an extreme end variation of human memory.
The factual part of memory functions almost normally, just slightly randomized due to ADHD.
Im terrible with names and with dates, but I usually remember some random details no one else does.. so it'll be like "remember that one time we were here and you said so and so, and blah blah" and they're like "no? When was this?" and I shrug and take my best guess, because it was either a month ago or 10 years ago ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Then another for classification purposes.
Some of the categories, are terrifyingly photographic accurate, even decades later.
No, I don't quite get to pick the categories.

Abysmally bad and kinda avarage at the same time.
