Mike Scree
Not all of the story about Mike Scree has yet been told.
What we know,
He was alive at the same time and is the same age as Ellen and Nita. All three knew each other in collage and they were very close.
Mike originally was Nita's boy friend and at first Ellen was 'just' Nita's room mate. But it was a 'crazy' time and collage was the place to experiment. At first it was inconsequential bedroom games which became more and more serious until all three became regular lovers. Mike has a strange and perhaps scary, taste for kink and their bedroom games may have been more complex than vanilla sex. That is not explored too deeply, but its certain that Mike has spent serious amount of time with both Nita and Ellen.
After some time of this, Ellen and Mike started to become more serious, Nita sensed this and started to separate herself from the pair. Ellen and Mike started to make plans, and a promise of marriage was made, though no ring was exchanged.
Then suddenly Mike disappeared, and it was not just a simple case of jitters, he erased all traces of himself from Ellen's and Nita's life. All means to contact him were cut off. This was a serious effort on Mike's part since this was taking place in the mid 21'st century when even the most backwoods parts of the planet is wired with Internet.
Ellen was devastated and Nita picked up the pieces. The two stopped being lovers but remained friends and stuck together for the rest of their lives. Which is a tale not yet told. One hint is given. When Ellen does meet Mike again in the after life, she is surprised he is there 'so soon' yet she and Nita have been in the IH for over twenty years.
Mike came back into the picture while Nita and Ellen are at a high class resort outside of the IH. He did not stay in the resort long, and told Ellen he needed a job. He also gave a partial explaination about his sudden disappearance in collage. It seems his family had money problems.
Apparently Ellen did help Mike get a job, yet it seems that there has been no further contact since their meeting at the resort. Mike now works in the IH as a Host, helping the historians in Historical Research as a technical aide. At least one of his jobs there is to make copies of people souls at key points in their life. These copies are combined by senior technician into a complete soul, absent of the brain damage that would have been present had they only used a single copy taken at the end of that person's life.
