Characters and couples research

Active source

8. Project fit

In your saga, Mike is part of the younger group around Henry, with his own arc and his own wounds. The Wheeler family — Nancy, Mike, Karen, Holly — is one of the rare intact-family units the apocalypse hands the group, and the survival of those bonds is itself a project beat.

Working sentence: Mike Wheeler is the kid who decided he would protect his people, and is still discovering — too young — what that costs in real life.
