High fit

Restore is the ability to return to a previous version of yourself — recovering strengths or habits you once had. Alex Hai had called himself a warrior years earlier, in the 2017 interview. That identity didn't disappear — it went quiet. What got him out of the Berlin depression was hearing that voice again, the same one that had fought gondoliers, lawyers, and city hall for decades. He restored access to that part of himself and used it to start moving, start creating, and eventually start building again in a city he'd once written off entirely.
