Or "While running away from a building that was collapsing, I fell and broke my arm"
Point is we don't know how it happened, and this seems like a good place in terms or story structure to reveal that IMO.
He has to get in to get his arm healed.
Pegs and
Kelly won't leave him alone outside, so either:
A)
Michael, Pegs and Kelly convince them to let everyone into
the colony in some manner without telling the story
B) Michael tells the story to prove it was an accident. Or
C) All three of them turn and leave. (which, I don't feel advances the story at all)
The Colony seems to have hard and steadfast rules about gaining admittance. They aren't going to sway the rules or be sloppy like
the Tower people have been. That leaves us with Michael telling his story.
