Michael couldn't care about anything outside of his own presence. He didn't care about whatever Worcester was doing back in the real world.
He was way too focused on bringing Zion back to reality.
However, it was too hard. He felt the thread starting to burn into cinders. If this continued, he wouldn't be able to adapt Zion's thread of life into whatever Influence he wanted to imbue into it.
The problem was that Michael was too weak. Changing the fate of Zion was like a mortal human trying to fly up into the high heavens. It simply wasn't possible.
There were way too many threads in reality. Zion's death created a lot of reverberations throughout the overall tapestry of fate.
Zion should die today. Period. That was what the fates had prescribed for him. Michael wasn't supposed to try and stop that.
