   Summary

   It took Mike dying in a car crash for Nancy to fully comprehend she never took the time to really know him. Going through his room, she finds nothing but a mess and all this nerd stuff---including an old, written, and unplayed campaign by Mike. In a desperation to learn more about her late brother, Nancy plays the campaign despite any previous disinterest, and it's almost like he's back.
