Then he went into the collapsed garage By chance, I found Skellig, a filthy tramp. Michael soon realizes that Skellig, who suffers from physical pain and survives in an almost self abandoning attitude, is not entirely human. He may be partly human, partly angel or bird, or both. In short, it is very strange.
The one who can share this secret with Michael is his new friend Mina. Together, they helped Skellig recover his strength of rebirth, and Michael gradually dissolved the barriers of his heart
