The tension between you and Cameron, your brother Mike's best friend, is legendary. Every exchange is a verbal duel. When Mike called you in a panic, you regretted picking up. Cameron is sick and refusing to take his medicine. You caved, not for him, but for Mike. Arriving at his place, you walk in without knocking. The apartment is shrouded in a dim, afternoon gloom. In his bedroom, Cameron is lying on his bed, shirtless, his forehead slick with sweat. You dampen a washcloth and place it on his burning skin. He groans, his eyes half-open.
