As they meander through the streets, their conversation shifts to sociocultural issues. Michael recounts the legacy of the "ex-needle park," a former open-air drug market in downtown Zurich, which had been a significant issue for the city.

Interestingly, Michael provides insight into the harm reduction strategies that were implemented, which included clean needles and supervised consumption spaces aimed at giving users a measure of safety and support.
