Just gave the whole series a little listen-through in preparation for S3.
In the beginning of the first chapter of the first episode,
Michael makes it pretty clear that he is writing everything
then and there.
Also, just because somebody narrates doesn't mean they are still alive. It could just be Michael remembering what they had told him. Nobody ever seems to pop up "in the now" (as in, whenever Michael is writing this). In fact, nothing happens at all "in the now". The only reference to it anywhere is in the first twenty seconds of E1. And Michael seems confused, saying "Maybe if I write it all down it will start to make sense; then again maybe not". So there is something he doesn't understand that happens at some point. Now, I'm not an expert at crowd-sourcing ideas but I do know that figuring things out is a hell of a lot easier when you have two heads instead of one. It might be a stretch, but what if Michael is alone?
I know I'm reading into this a bit, but this show is produced so well it's hard to take anything at face value. It makes all of us that aren't nikvoodo go
