Such a fate sucked Michael into the abyss.
The experience of being sexually assaulted by his stepfather when he was a child cut off all the opportunities that he seemed to have chosen in the future. He grew up in this fate, becoming cautious, brave and independent; also because of this fate, he couldn't trust Dennis, and thus lost his way out of sports. In order to protect his younger brother from suffering the same fate, he did not hesitate to kill his stepfather with the help of Marlo, so he officially entered the gang, and he killed Snoop under the vigilance he cultivated since childhood, becoming the second Omar.
Life never gave him another chance to choose.
Maybe what Milan Kundera said is right, everyone is like Thomas in his writing, going to an inevitable destiny in the illusion of choice. It's just that for Michael, the one-way street in Bacheng is a bit too cruel.
